Fall Colored Candy (Ex: Reese’s Pieces or M & M’s)-about ½ cup per light bulb
Glue Dots
Craft Equipment Recommended:
Scissors
Pencil
Funnel
Instructions
After gathering all the supplies, trace your child’s hand or your hand in all four colors and cut them out. Set them aside.
On the plastic light bulb, using two glue dots adhere googly eyes at the narrow portion of the bulb.
Cut the orange craft form into a small triangle for the beak and set aside
Cut both the brown and red pipe cleaners at 2 inches. You will need 4 brown and one red per turkey. Twist the red pipe cleaner to the shape of a wattle (like a tear drop), and twist 2 brown pipe cleaners together to make each foot
Place a glue dot on the back of the orange beak and then attach it to the red pipe cleaner wattle. Using another glue dot secure both pieces to the light bulb just under the eyes.
Adhere both feet to the bottom of the light bulb with two more glue dots.
Fan out the cut-out hands and glue them to the back of the turkey light bulb
With the twist off cap removed, use a small kitchen funnel to add fall colored candy to the light bulb. Fill candy to the top and replace cap.
Use the handprint light bulb turkey as a place setting for the kids table at Thanksgiving, a gift for a neighbor or teacher or just a cute Thanksgiving decoration.
