Paper Bag Turkey Costume
With Thanksgiving right around the corner I wanted to do my own spin on a classic Thanksgiving craft. These paper bag turkey costumes will provide entertainment so that you have time to cook the real turkey along with everything else you need to get done.
Supplies needed:
- Brown paper bag
- Cardstock paper
- Hot glue gun
- Hole puncher
- Scissors
- Orange felt
- Ruler
- 1/4 measuring cup
Instructions:
- Start by opening the paper bag and cutting up the lime on the side. The bag will naturally form a triangle and you will want to cut along those lines as well.
- Next turn the bag inside out so all of the print is hidden.
- Create a head hole by cutting out the center rectangle outlined by the bag.
- To help make the shoulder straps sturdy, fold over the extra pieces and glue them down.
- On the front of the bag create three lines and use the measuring cup to trace half circles.
6. Cut out the half circles and pop them out to create a 3D effect.7. Cut cardstock paper into 1.5 by 12 inch pieces.8. Glue two pieces of the same color together then twist the strip to look like a feather.
9. Create headpiece using two strips of paper.10. Use your hole punch to create the eyes and cut out a triangle for the beak. Glue a balloon under the eyes and beak to be the wattle.11. Use felt to create turkey spurs. Wrap them around your child’s shoe and secure with a safety pin or Velcro.
Rainy Day Activities For Kids
Rainy weather putting a damper on your outdoor plans? I’ve got you covered with these three indoor activities that will keep your kids busy for hours!
Balloon Bouncing Bed:
Using vacuum bags and balloons you can create a fun and soft bouncing playground for your kids. Just simply blow up the balloons, insert them into the vacuum bag and vacuum all the air out.
Ball Rolling Game:
Using any table and ping pong balls you can create a fun and engaging game. Slightly elevate the table and tape cups to the end up the table. Have fun racing the balls down and trying to land them in the cups.
Color Sorting Game:
For this game I used cones and designated each one to represent a certain color. Next I cut up pool noodles into small pieces. Have your kids match the color of the pool noodle to the cone.
How To Catch A Leprechaun
I wanted to come up with something fun Lola and I could do for St. Patrick’s Day. So after some brain storming I decided on leprechaun traps. We found almost everything at home and the rest of the supplies are from Target or the dollar store. It was so fun to be creative and make our own traps!!
Hat Trap:
I had this hat left over from a project from last year. I used bright pipe cleaners and cotton balls to create the rainbow. I used gold present filler for the center and glued on some gold coins that I also had left over from last year.
Slide Trap:
This trap was so fun to make and reminds me of Mario Cart! I used gold paper and bright card stock to create the slide. The base of the trap is a butterfly net and I just used a shamrock cutout for the sign.
Jar Trap:
The jar for this trap is what I usually use to hold the flour in my kitchen. I found the lucky charm marshmallows from Target and made the slide out of green straws. For the sign, I used gold stickers and bright pipe cleaners.
