What You'll Need For This Paper Bag Turkey Craft
How To Make This Paper Bag Turkey Craft
1. Cut out feathers, a beak, and a snood from construction paper. I like to use red, yellow, and orange construction paper for the feathers.
Note: A lot of people confuse a snood and a wattle. The snood is the red part that hangs over the beak. A wattle is on the turkey's neck. This is a great way to introduce parts of a turkey to your kiddos!
2. Glue the feathers to the back of the paper bag, along the top.
3. Draw two eyes on the front flap of the paper bag using a black marker.
4. Glue the beak and wattle onto the front flap to complete your turkey's face.
