Turkey Craft With Rocks, Leaves, and Twigs

Collect the materials. Use small rocks, twigs, and leaves from nature. Or use artificial fall leaves, small rocks like this, and twigs (you can pick them up at the craft store and on Amazon).
To make the turkey feathers from leaves; Have your child glue leaves together with a glue stick.
Cut out 2 eyes with black construction paper.
Next, cut out the beak using yellow construction paper.
Lastly, cut the wattle of the turkey from red construction paper.
Glue the pieces onto the rock, to make the turkey’s face.
Break the twigs and shape the turkey’s legs. Glue them onto the construction paper.
Once the rock face is dry, glue the leaves (previously glued together) to the construction paper (above the turkey legs).
Add the rock face to the glued-on leaves.
Tada! You made the easy turkey craft.

My grandson decided to give his a rock road. Add leaves or other elements to complete this Thanksgiving craft for kids. Add it to a mantle or display it in the home.
