Are you ready to make this fun Thanksgiving craft? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need…

Here’s What You’ll Need for each turkey:

• Turkey Face Printable
• wooden circle pieces
• 2 inch wide Styrofoam balls
• knife
• pencil or pen
• Crayons

Instructions

• cut your Styrofoam ball into slices that are wide enough to hold a crayon
• cut a straight edge at the bottom of each useable slice

• use glue to sandwich the Styrofoam in between 2 slices of wood

• glue the printed turkey face onto the front

• use the end of a pencil or pen to twist back and forth into the Styrofoam, making five places for the crayons – all the way around
• *I snapped this picture before I decided the turkey needed a wooden piece on the back for weight. You can do it either before you add the back piece or after

• place crayons into holes – adjusting the depth, if necessary
