Art and CraftspicThis week for our Art and Crafts segment here at Life of Dad we will not jump right into Christmas crafts just yet. We here at Life of Dad embrace Thanksgiving and want to give this holiday some love. This week’s craft will be making some turkey character cups. These are perfect for the dinner table to use as decorations on Thanksgiving Day.

 

Materials Needed:

Paper Cups (preferably brown)

Foam Stickersturkey (1)

Wiggly Eyes

Markers

Glue or Tape

Felt Stickers

Scissors

Directions:

Take the felt sticker material and cut out shapes for a head, legs, and wings. Attach all the different body parts on one side of the cup. Take another piece of felt sticker material and cut out feathers. Attach the feathers on the other side of the cup. Glue the wiggly eyes to the head. Cut out other pieces of felt for the beak, snood, (the piece of skin attached to the beak) and anything else you and your kids would like to customize your turkey with to make it your own.

After that you and your kids repeat the process until you have a cup for each table setting. Now you have a little army of turkeys of the dinner table.
