Gobble, Gobble, Gobble goes the turkey! Ella and Annie have created an adorable turkey craft just for kids this fall season. It's easy to put these turkeys together and won't take too much time at all. Grab some basic craft supplies you most likely have on hand; glue (we love the glue dots), scissors and paint brushes. Make sure to order these kid safe plastic jars (no sharp edges), paint, googly eyes, feathers and craft foam!

Step
1

Prime the plastic mason jar with white primer or acrylic paint. Paint the jar brown once the primer paint has dried. Glue on two googly eyes. Cut a orange triangle from the self-adhesive foam and stick on the jar for the turkey's nose. Cut a red rain drop shape out of the red craft foam for the wattle and stick next to the orange beak.

Poke two holes on both sides of the jar using a piercing tool (or thumb tack) and push one end of the chenille stem on each side of the jar. Fold the ends up on the inside of the jar to hold the hanger in place. Cut strips of red, orange and yellow streamers. We cut the streamers in half down the middle to make skinnier strips. Attach each strip with glue dots to the inner rim of the jar.
