Turkey Treat!
My old high school friend needed an inexpensive treat
for her daughter’s 4th grade class... so, here’s what I came up
with! This treat is easy to make and
your little ones will “gobble” it right up!
What you need:
·
1 box theater size candy (any will
do...yum!)
·
Colored copy paper or construction
paper (I used red, yellow, and orange paper) - feathers, beak, legs
·
2 sheets of brown construction paper (1 sheet trimmed to 8 1/2 x 11 inch size) - body, head, wings
·
Black marker
·
Glue or tape
·
Scissors
·
Ribbon (5/8 inch width)
Directions:
Before getting started, decide how many Turkey
Treats you need to make. Using the
patterns, go ahead and cut all the pieces you’ll need.
1.
Wrap the box of candy using the 8.5
x 11 inch sheet of brown construction paper.
Secure the edges with tape and set aside.
2.
Draw two eyes on the turkey head.
3.
Fold orange beak down to make
triangular shape and glue it onto the turkey head.
4.
Attach/glue the head on the candy
box so that its head sticks up over the box.
5.
Glue 5 feathers to the backside of
the candy turkey box... making sure feathers stick up about 2.5 - 3 inches.
6.
Glue 2 brown wings onto the front
of the wrapped candy box.
7.
Fold each leg back-and-forth to
make accordion shaped creases. Glue the
legs to bottom side of the turkey.
8.
Tie the ribbon into a bow and glue
it onto the front of the candy box.
