no mess thanksgiving day craft People have been making paper bag turkey crafts for ages but I still wanted to share this one because of how we made it and how my daughter was able to play as soon as the last piece was on. It’s the perfect low mess make and take craft for your kid guests at Thanksgiving dinner.

Gather your materials. You will need some paper bags, crayons, party streamers ( I save all extras from birthday parties), googly eyes, orange and red construction paper, scissors and permanent double stick tape. paper bag turkey craft

Start by cutting a few inches off the bottom of the paper bags. This makes the puppets much easier for wee little arms to handle. paper bag turkey craft for thanksgiving

Next invite your puppet maker to color their turkey. My daughter took her time taking off all the paper from the crayons first. paper bag turkey craft for three year oldsThis was an unintended fine motor skill activity in the middle of our main craft. paper bag turkey

While they peel and color cut the streamers into shorter pieces, and cut a beak and wattle. paper bag turkey streamers

When they are done coloring flip the bag over and add the double stick tape along the edges. paper bag turkey craft for children

Add the streamers. paper bag turkey feathersI was floored with how long she did this. She wanted to cover every bit of “sticky” and even asked to add more. paper bag turkey adding feathers

Add tape to the wattle and beak and flip the turkey over and stick them on. We added the beak first so I slipped it under after. paper bag turkey for kids

    The very heart of your writing whilst appearing reasonable originally, did not settle very well with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in logic and one would do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. In the event that you can accomplish that, I could definitely be fascinated.
