Paper Cup Turkeys
Kids can make several of these paper cup turkeys so the family can use them as place cards for the big Thanksgiving feast!
What you'll need:
- Paper or foam cup (8.5 oz)
- Acrylic paint in fall colors (brown, tan, orange, red, green, yellow, etc.)
- Large pom-pom for head (brown, yellow, red, orange, etc.)
- Small foam heart for gobbler (to contrast with color of head)
- Small foam triangle (orange or yellow)
- 2 small wiggle eyes
- 3” x 2” piece of orange construction paper
- 1 sheet of white construction paper
- White craft glue
- Scissors
How to make it:
- Place cup upside down on work surface and paint brown (see image).
- To make the feathers, paint the white construction paper with several fall colors, crisscrossing the colors as you go. Let dry (see image).
- Cut feathers out in one large piece, should be shaped similar to a hand or crown. Cut the tips of each feather into a point (see image).
- Apply glue to the bottom portion of the feathers and press onto the bottom of the cup. Hold in place for a minute or so to let the glue grab.
- Place foam heart upside down so that the bumps are facing downward. Glue the foam triangle, point down, onto the upside down heart--the upper points of the triangle will be hanging over the edge. This is the beak and gobbler (see image).
- Glue the pom-pom to the top of the paper cup.
- Glue the wiggle eyes and the beak and gobbler to the head.
- Cut two feet from the orange construction paper and glue to the bottom of the cup.
Tips:
- Instead of throwing away the paper that you use to protect your work surface from paint, add more color to it to make the feathers!
- The feathers can be simplified by using a piece of brown, orange, or red construction paper.
- Make these even more fancy by using actual feathers and by writing the name of your dinner guests on a piece of paper and gluing to the front of each turkey.
