Thrifty Kid Craft Idea for Thanksgiving

Right after Halloween I was able to get 15 boxes of Dots on clearance for .33 cents each.  I know some of  you thought I was crazy buying that many, but I knew I wanted to use them for my sons birthday party.  I was able to use my thrifty find, to make a cute craft project.  It was a total hit with the kids, and they were all so proud of their little turkeys.

Start out with a box of dots or any other candy.

Cover it with a tan sheet of card stock

I then used my Stampin Up punches to cut out;

• a large circle for the head
• 2 small circles for the eyes, and a hole punch for the eye middle
• a square for the beak
• round scallop circles for the turkey feathers

Fold the square to make a beak, and use the circles for eyes

Glue the head to the bottom of the box

Fold the scallops circles into a “V” shape

Glue the back part of the “V”

Glue them above the Turkey head

I had all the shapes pre cut for the kids, they had a blast making them!

I saw this idea on a email from a friend, and changed it to work for my kids.
