Tate's Thankful Turkey

Tate was looking through a magazine a few days ago and found a picture of a turkey that he just "had" to make. Today when he pulled out the magazine again, I figured that I could take an hour of my time and make it with him.
The feathers have things that he's thankful for written on them.

He is thankful for (in his own words)...
cookies
Daddy-I love Bryan
Heavenly Father-He listens to my prayers
coloring
rocks
my grasshoppers (I don't think that I've ever shared Tate's grasshopper obsession on my blog before). Anyways... long story short, Tate has imaginary grasshoppers :)
my toys
Mommy
The Letter T
monsters
Erin (a girl in his preschool class who he claims is his new best friend)
Rock Tumblers
My Bed
That I LOVE myself
My Home
Lizards

This was a really fun craft, not one that I would have initiated, but fun.

  2. Michelle,
    Both the body and the head are actually just big yarn balls. I pinned the end down and then hot glued the two balls together. So far it's held up pretty well-surprisingly.
