Instructions for Making a Footprint Turkey
Step 1
To begin with, I had Rory pick out different types of paper. Rory picked out the bright colorful pieces of scrap paper.
Step 2
I then cut these out into a feather shape; rounded and larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.
Step 3
When they are all cut out, have your child put some glue on the back of the feathers and arrange them on the construction paper. We chose to use five feathers, one a the top, two at the bottom, and two in between the top feather and the bottom feather.
Step 4
Then it was Rory’s favorite part- the Footprints! We painted all of Rory’s feet, she used the paintbrush to paint her heels, toes, and rest of the foot.
Step 5
Turn the paper with the feathers upside down and put the footprint on the paper.
Step 6
Set them aside to dry.
Step 7
While they are drying, we cut out a triangle beaks out of the orange construction paper, and the turkey necks out of the red construction paper.
I also grabbed some googly eyes for each of the turkeys. Once the turkeys are dry you can apply the beaks, necks, and eyes.
We can’t wait to hang up our turkeys!
