I made C and R an apple turkey for their after school snack yesterday. To make the feathers, I put grapes, Craisins, and Cheerios on toothpicks that I had stuck into the apple. For the head, I stuck a marshmallow on a toothpick and used icing to attach candy eyes, a piece of a candy corn for the beak, and a Craisin for the waddle.
While they ate, I read A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman. The people of Squawk Valley need a turkey for their Thanksgiving feast, and they decide to advertise for a "model" turkey to pose during a turkey themed arts and crafts fair. They hope to trick a real turkey into showing up and then becoming the main course! The turkey that shows up outsmarts everyone in the end!
Later in the day, C and R drew their own turkeys using the crayon/marker resist technique from Pink and Green Mama.
