Popsicle Stick Turkeys

The prince and I made these cute little turkeys on our date night last night. They were both easy and fun! Since these are fairly simple I think ages as young as 18 months could do this project with your help.

Materials
5 popsicle sticks (we used larger ones)
1 ice-cream stick (body)
Paint in desired colors
Paint brushes
Glue

Optional
Eyes

First you paint all the sticks. We did brown bodies and each large stick (feathers) a different color. Then we let them dry.

Next we glued eyes onto to skinny part of the ice-cream stick. (you could draw eyes if desired)
Then we glued one end of each Popsicle stick to another in a fan type array.
The last thing we glued was the turkeys body to the feathers.
Once the project was completely dry, we wrote one thing we were thankful for on each "feather." Since the prince can't spell well enough yet, he told me and I wrote for him. He then "wrote" his own as well and just told me what they said :)

This was very entertaining and fun for both myself and my son. I think they turned out cute too!
