To begin, cut simple feather shapes out of the construction paper or wall paper samples and glue into a fan shape onto the back of the cardboard tube. Bathroom tissue tubes work well, as do mailing tubes. You could use food containers, such as containers from Pringles, but you'd need to cover them with paper or paint before attaching the feathers. Glue or draw on two eyes. The beaks are a small square of construction paper folded in half and pasted onto the tube just below the eyes.
We then glued the tubes onto circles of brown construction paper and added green or orange feet, which gave us a chance to use up some green and orange construction paper. Finally, we added a ribbon to make our creation more festive.
We did attempt to attach wattles, or that red hangy thing as we called it, but that got a little too complicated so our turkeys ended up hangy thing free. We still think that they're cute as can be and are a nice touch to the tables in the dining room.
