Pumpkin Turkey


I have these Jack-Be-Little pumpkins all over my house, serving as a nice decoration. I kept looking at them wanting to do something unique with them, and came up with this. I think they make darling decorations! This is a great activity for fine motor skills practice.

AGE RANGE
If you assemble the turkey, 12 months and up. The child will need to be older for assembling.

SUPPLIES

  • Pumpkin (you could also use a pear, apple...whatever)
  • Crayons
  • Feathers
  • Toothpick
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Nail
  • Turkey head printed out
ACTIVITY
  1. Have your child color the turkey head.
  2. If your child is able, have him cut out the turkey head.
  3. Tape the turkey head to the toothpick.
  4. You can either slide the toothpick into the turkey or poke a hole in the turkey with a nail and have your child slide it in.
  5. Poke holes for the feathers. Either you put them in, or have your child do it if he is able.
  6. Done!
