Instructions
Paint the discs and the ball half with brown paint and set aside to dry.
Cut red felt into a heart shape for the gobbler and the orange felt into a diamond for the beak.
Cut out pairs of feathers from the construction paper. Have children use markers to write things they are thankful for on the feathers (family, toys, God, health, etc).
Pair p the feathers by color, making sure the writing is on the outsides and glue together with white glue, insert a toothpick into the bottom of the feather pair and press together to secure.
Glue the gobbler, beak and googly eyes to the half ball then hot glue the head to the body. Assemble the foam turkey by connecting the two discs with a toothpick and some glue. Glue on the buttons.
Kids can insert the feather picks into the top of the Styrofoam body, the words will be visible from the front and the back.
