Not only
does this Thanksgiving art activity result in a cute little craft that helps
you set the holiday table, but it also gives the kiddos something to do while
you prep for a mega meal. Gather the family in the kitchen and start the
crafting as you prep for Thanksgiving dinner. This gives you the chance to
supervise the kids and join in on the art-making too! Assign each child a
family member or guest to create for. Even if there are only three of you
having a family meal, your little artist can still craft up a card for you or
your spouse.
And now, on
to the art…
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
8x10-inch
card stock paper – choose any color that you and your child want
·
Craft
felt sheets – in a few different colors
·
A
marker
·
Scissors
·
Googley
eyes
·
Clear-drying
school glue
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Position
the card stock paper vertically. Fold the paper from the top to the bottom.
2. Cut the
paper at the fold. Now you have two cards for two different family members or
guests.
3. Fold one
of the card stock pieces in half (from top to bottom), making a tent shape.
4. Cut two
circles from one of the felt sheets. Make one bigger than the other (both need
to fit on the front of the folded card). The smaller circle is the turkey’s
head, and the bigger one is its body.
5. Cut ‘feathers’
from other colors of felt. Have your child draw and cut oval shapes.
6. Glue the
feathers to the front of the card, making a fan. Overlap the edges a bit.
7. Glue the
turkey’s body onto the center of the feathers. Add the smaller circle (with
glue) to the top.
8. Draw and
cut a small triangle from another piece of card stock paper to make a beak.
Glue the beak to the turkey’s face.
9. Add two
googley eyes with glue.
10. Write
the guest’s name onto another piece of card stock with a marker. Cut the name
out, making a circle shape.
11. Glue the
name to the center of the turkey.
Hey wait!
Your child didn’t just make a cutesy craft, she also got in a bit of learning.
She explored geometry (the turkey’s shapes), puzzled together pieces while
learning about the part-to-whole relationship (when she put together the
turkey) and even got in a mini writing lesson.
