Thanksgiving Craft: Pinecone Turkey

November 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment

This is the perfect craft for those rainy days when your kids are bored and need something to do.  It has been rainy here for a few days now and my kids are stir crazy because they can’t play outside.  They have been begging for “something special” to do.  This pinecone turkey is so great because I already have all the supplies I need to make it.  Yay for not having to make an extra trip to the store in the rain!  Even better, I can use the finished product as placecards for Thanksgiving dinner.  I love when I can kill two birds with one stone.  Thanks to Amazing Moms for the great idea.

Here is what you need to make these Pinecone Turkeys:

  • yellow card stock or construction paper
  • brown card stock or construction paper
  • glue
  • scissors
  • wiggly eyes

Here is how to make them -> Pinecone Turkey Tutorial

Also, don’t forget these great coupons if you need to head to the craft store for supplies:
