Turkey Tracks

Since I'm still trying to convince the little guy that Halloween has come and gone - we have adjusted our focus to Thanksgiving (the next big holiday!)  So our craft project involved turkeys and animal tracks (one of my little man's favorite topics!)

To start things off - we first made a turkey hat!

 You will need your turkey hat (of course!), paint, paper plates (one for each color), pictures of turkeys (fancy coloring is optional), turkey feet (made from wire hanger in the picture) and a plastic bag for trash (read - this is MESSY!)

 First we hung the turkeys in the trees....

Then we poured the paint into the plates and dipped our turkey foot in it.  We used a wire hanger to make a foot but I would recommend something flatter such as popsicle sticks to make better tracks...

Then we simply made tracks over to each of the turkeys in the trees!  It was a lot of fun...and quickly evolved into making little boy foot tracks too!

It was a lot of fun!

Here's a picture of the little guy - all business in the front - and a turkey in the back!

Enjoy :-)
