Potato Print Turkey
Potato Print
Turkey
I thought I had had my fill with turkeys for this year until I thought of this, and I had to do it! Feathers are not the easiest art material to use, especially for little fumbly fingers, this craft fixes that! Who needs feathers when you have a good ole potato? If you don’t like potatoes you can try sponges instead, both make cool feather like prints.
- Gather your materials. You will need 2 pieces of construction paper, one piece of white paper, 1 potato, paint, scissors , a plate, a knife, a marker and glue.
- Start by drawing a turkey body shape ( think of a bowling pin) .
- Cut the potato in 2 lengthwise.
- Have your child paint the turkey using the potato. Let dry.
- Next get out some pretty colors and using the fresh half of the potato, I had to cut my potato into a spear because it was too big.
- Start printing in a ark to make the feathers, my son at this point only wanted to do markers , but I can tell you if he had done it it would have been much more abstract, which is perfect! Let dry.
- Cut the feathers out, here is where you can shape them into feathers if your potato prints were all over.
- Draw a face on the turkey and cut out.
- Glue the feathers onto the 2nd piece of construction paper.
- Glue the turkey body on and add some legs with a marker.
