Materials: brown and orange playdough (click here for my favorite playdough recipe from Counting Coconuts), a red pipe cleaner, googly eyes and small colorful craft sticks
Tips and Tricks: This was simply playtime for my tot. He loved just pressing the craft materials in the playdough and mixing up the colors, but my preschooler caught on quick and loved making mini gobblers.
Something Extra: I thought we could keep our cute little turkeys around to use as a Thanksgiving decoration, but my preschooler had other ideas. When she was done with her turkey, she smashed him up and created monsters, ghosts and aliens which turned out to be just as much fun as making turkeys!

ReplyDeleteI love Counting Coconuts too! We tried using beans and pipe cleaners one week with playdough and we are still finding pipe cleaner pieces in the play dough. I love the idea of colored popsicle sticks instead!
