Thanksgiving Arts and Craft Project: Pine Cone Turkey.

Thanksgiving Arts and Craft Project: Pine Cone Turkey.
What you need for this project: Pine cone. Colored feathers. (If you have a mid size bird and they shed feathers you can use these. This will save you money.) Glue. Construction paper- brown and red. Markers. Scissors.

Have your child find a mid size pine cone. Place the feathers, upright, in the back of the pine cone in its pockets. You can glue the feathers in place if you choose. With the construction paper cut out a face for the turkey. Draw on the face. Use the red paper to make a wobbly turkey neck. Glue both the face and neck to the front of the turkey. Alternative: Instead of using construction paper for the face, glue buttons on the pine cone for eyes and yarn for the mouth.
