Thanksgiving Crafts: Turkey Hat

My youngest daughter is obsessed with hats. She wears a different one around the house each day. Some days it’s her winter hat, some days it’s her baseball hat and on some days it’s even her bike helmet! Since she loves wearing things on her head so much, I decided to make a turkey hat for her today.

Here’s What You Need to Make a Turkey Hat:

• Brown paper bag
• Red, yellow and orange construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Black marker

Here’s How to Make a Turkey Hat:

1. Cut a four inch strip from the brown paper bag long enough to fit around your child’s head.

2. Glue the strip of paper bag together to form a headband.

3. Cut a three inch circle from the paper bag for the turkey’s head.

4. Cut a small triangle from the orange construction paper for the turkey’s beak.

5. Cut a small piece from the red construction paper for the turkey’s wattle.

6. Glue the beak and wattle onto the circle to create the turkey’s face.

7. Draw eyes on the turkey’s face with a black marker.

8. Cut a strip from red construction paper that is one inch wide and two inches long and fold it in half.

9. Glue the strip of red construction paper to the back of the turkey’s head to create the turkey’s neck.

10. Glue the other end of the red strip to the front of the headband, thus attaching the turkey’s head.

11. Cut feathers from the red, yellow and orange construction paper.

12. Glue the feathers to the back of headband.
