Thanksgiving Turkey for Preschoolers

This turkey is a quick, fun, easy project that turns out cute and is great for young children's fine motor.

Materials
Styrofoam ball
Multiple colors of pipe cleaners
Brown paint
Paint brush

1. First paint the styrofoam ball brown
( I did this with The Prince's Sunday school class so we left the styrofoam ball white instead of painting it brown)

2. Next use the pipe cleaners for feathers. They easily poke into the styrofoam ball. Poke both ends close together so they look like feathers. We used 5 colors for 5 feathers.

3. Then cut up a few pipe cleaners for legs, eyes, and a beak. The beak and eyes were about 3/4 inch and the legs about 1 1/2-2 inches.

4. Stick in the eyes, beak, and legs and your turkey is finished!

The Sunday school children really enjoyed making these and were proud to take them home to show their parents!
