Finger Leg Turkey Puppets Craft
Crafts are fun all year round, but they are especially helpful during the cooler months. This is an easy craft that you can do with simple supplies that you most likely already have on hand. It has a turkey theme for Thanksgiving and is perfect for some easy family fun!
I hope you give this a try and let me know how it goes in the comments! Enjoy and have the Happiest of Thanksgivings!
What You Need
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- A circle roughly the size of a small Tupperware lid or masking tape
- Pencil
- Crayons
Instructions
Pick a color for the turkeys body. Fold the paper in half and trace your circle. Cut the circle out and because you folded the paper you will have more than one!
Next make your paper leaves. I made them about the same height as my glue stick (to keep it easy). You can make them super simple or get fancy with the edges. It looks cute no matter what!
Stack your construction paper (pick 3 sheets in different colors than the body) and draw your leaves on the top sheet. Keep the papers in a stack and cut out your leaves. You’ll end up with lots of leaves very quickly!
Use some scrap paper to cut out the beaks and turkey gobbler.
Give the paper pieces to your little one(s) – it’s time to glue it all together. You can see Gabriel and Sofia gluing all the feathers on the back of the turkey body.
Trace the bottom of the glue stick for finger holes. Cut them out using the scissors.
I cut out a smaller circle and glued it to the back of the turkey to make it thicker and help it stand up better.
Use the crayons to draw on the eyes and decorate the feathers if you want. Have fun with it!
When you’re done – put your fingers through the holes and do the turkey trot! 🙂 Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Muah!
