Gobble Gobble

The little gal came home on Friday with a project. As a family we were to cut out this Turkey and decorate it for the holiday. The directions made it clear that this was a Family project, which was pretty exciting for me.
We cut out the Turkey and then headed out to the craft store for some decorations. Little gal wanted the "coolest" Turkey in her class, (That starts this early?) so we spent quite some time in the store picking out the "coolest" decorations.
We ended up with some pastel colored feathers, sparkling orange sticky paper for the beak and feet. Some plaid paper for the pants and some googly-eyes.

We rigged up the shirt to open and display what the squirt is thankful for this year. What a tear jerker! Here is what she wrote on her own:

Horses, Toys, Grandma in Heaven, Oma, turkey, my cat and dog, my cousin Katie, and family.

The grandma in Heaven part really threw me for a loop. It's hard to know that this is our first official holiday with out her here!


Here is the finished project. I love how it turned out!

As an added bonus - She returned home from school Monday exclaiming that she had the COOLEST turkey!!! YAY!
