How to make Turkish rocking paper plates
What you need:
- drag
- glue
- paper plate
- brown
- paint brush
- colored paper (orange, yellow and red)
- two innocent eyes
- paper stapler (optional)
Step-by-step instructions
Body
We’ll start our Thanksgiving turkey by painting a paper plate with brown paint.
Let the paint dry. Once dry, cut the paper in half. One paper plate will make two turkeys!
Make a cone shape from half of the sheet.
Use glue or paper clips to keep them together. If you use glue, you will need to hold it in place for the glue to really set.
Gently press down to flatten the cone slightly.
Feathers
Cut thin strips of yellow and red paper (orange is also welcome).
They will serve as the turkey’s feathers.
Begin making the loop by gluing the ends of each strip together.
Once the rounds are completed, it’s time to attach the turkey feathers.
Begin gluing the feathers to the back of the turkey’s paper plate body.
Attach all of them securely.
Face
Cut a small orange triangle for the beak.
Glue on the eyes and beak.
Your rocking paper plate turkey is complete!
Kids can make another turkey with the other half of the pre-painted paper plate!
These would look great as part of a Thanksgiving table setting.
