Turkey Crafts

I thought I’d get these up yesterday, but Brent has a test this week so I’ve been extra exhausted at the end of each day. Ah, the test is tomorrow and I’m looking forward to a relaxing evening. Back to turkey crafts!

This turkey handprint craft we made at the library. The template can be downloaded from Family Fun.

Supplies:

colorful feathers
googly eyes
orange beak from foam sheet
red gobbler from foam sheet
crayon or marker for tracing child’s hand
glue dots for quick and easy attachment

Sammi hung her turkey on HER fridge.

The idea for this turkey craft came from Make and Takes Turkey Countdown. We modified the face a bit by using foam sheets for depth and googly eyes for fun. Sammi loves BIG googly eyes! Here’s another one of her posing with her babies by her turkey.

I love the front view of the turkey on the play kitchen set. Good luck to Brent on his test. Please tell Sammi I love her turkeys

What do I Do Now?

One day I was nursing my newborn daughter. Her eyes were closed and she was settling in for sleep as she filled her tummy. I was excitedly anticipating her nap so I could rest my own eyes as well. When she finished eating I put her in her bed, as usual. Before I even made it across the room, I heard her little voice cooing and giggling in a very awake, alert kind of way. I picked her up and tried to rock her back to sleep but to no avail. She was awake and I wondered, "What do I do with her now?" So I present you with a collection of activities to fill those awake times because babies grow up!
