Popcorn Print Thanksgiving Turkey Art


I firmly believe that the Thanksgiving handprint turkey craft can always use an upgrade. Ok, maybe saying “firmly believe” is a bit excessive. I’m just saying – I have a stockpile of these projects from my son’s preschool and early elementary school years. Somewhere packaged up in my parents’ basement there’s probably a decades-old box that holds my own sweet little handprint turkeys. While in all honestly I have no issue with this project, I’ve been trying to think of other types of turkey crafts.

A few days ago we made shaving cream turkeys. With a little bit of paint and a whole lot of shaving cream, paper shapes transformed into textured Thanksgiving art! This time I’m using corn. Corn says “fall” (the season) to me. So, I wanted to incorporate it into this holiday-themed activity.

Instead of a corn stalk, I’m opting for the popping (or rather, popped) kind. Whenever we make popcorn it always seems like half the bowl ends up on the floor. So, before the dog got to it, I rescued some of the popped kernels for this project.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

·        Popcorn

·        Wax paper

·        Tempera paint in fall colors (red, yellow, orange, brown)

·        Construction paper

·        Scissors

·        A marker

·        Clear-drying school glue

·        Googley eyes

Here’s What to Do:

1.     Draw a circle and an oval on a piece of paper. These are the head and body of the turkey. Cut these out.

2.     Glue the oval and the circle onto another piece of paper.

3.     Make a turkey face. Your child can glue two googley eyes onto the circle and draw a triangle as a beak.

4.     Pour a few golf ball-sized pools of paint onto the wax paper. The wax paper will keep the paint from sinking through to the table.

5.     Dip the popped popcorn into the first paint color. Have your child use it to make textured prints around the turkey as feathers.

  6. This is a simple and festive Thanksgiving turkey art project for kids. The materials needed include white paper or cardstock, brown, red, orange, and yellow construction paper, glue, a pencil, popcorn kernels, paint (brown and other turkey feather colors), a small paintbrush, googly eyes (optional), and scissors.

    To create the turkey body, cut a simple turkey body shape out of brown construction paper and glue it onto the center of the paper. Cut feather shapes out of different colors of construction paper for the turkey's tail feathers. Divide the popcorn into small bowls and apply brown paint to some of them. Dip the painted popcorn onto the turkey body area and press it down gently to create a popcorn print.

    Add feather prints using different colors for each feather to make the tail vibrant. Cut a small, red teardrop-shaped piece for the turkey's wattle and an orange triangular piece for the beak and glue them onto the turkey's face.

    Add googly eyes (optional) by gluing them onto the turkey's face or drawing them using a black marker. Allow the glue and paint to dry completely, and consider adding extra details like drawing turkey legs at the bottom of the body. Display the popcorn-print Thanksgiving turkey art on a wall or refrigerator or share it with friends and family as a festive decoration.personal injury attorney virginia

  7. This Thanksgiving turkey art project involves using construction paper in various colors, white glue, a pencil, popcorn, googly eyes, and markers or crayons. The process involves drawing and cutting out the turkey body, creating turkey feathers, and applying white glue to the turkey's body. Pop a small amount of popcorn without any butter or seasoning, and apply white glue to the turkey's body, avoiding the feathers. Press the popcorn onto the glue, covering the turkey's body. Add a triangle from orange paper for the turkey's beak and glue it near the top of the turkey's body. If you have googly eyes, glue them above the beak. Use markers or crayons to draw eyes or draw details like a wattle or feet. Allow the popcorn-print turkey to dry completely, as the glue holding the popcorn may take some time. This craft is not only a creative way to make a Thanksgiving turkey but also adds a tactile element with the use of popcorn. It can be a great activity for children and a festive decoration for the Thanksgiving season.abogado de nueva jersey flsa
