How to
Make a Folded Paper Plate Turkey
| Step 1 |
Fold
one dinner plate in half. Glue or staple closed.
Paint one side completely brown. Set aside to dry. |
| Step 2 |
Take
the second dinner sized
paper plate and cut in half. Take one half of the plate and
fold
into a triangle for the head, overlapping in order to make it small
enough. Cut off excess paper plate and paint it brown.
Set
aside to dry. |
| Step 3 |
Take
the other half of the
paper plate and fold into a triangle shape (a bit bigger than the
head). Cut off any excess and paint brown. Set
aside to
dry. This is the turkey's arm.
|
| Step 4 |
While
the paint is drying, cut
out several feathers (9 to 12). Arrange these in the order
you
want and glue together. Cut out some turkey legs and feet
with
yellow, tan or orange construction paper. Cut out a triangle
with
yellow or orange construction paper for the turkey's beak.
|
| Step 5 |
Cut out some
turkey legs and feet
with
yellow, tan or orange construction paper. Cut out a triangle
with
yellow or orange construction paper for the turkey's beak. |
| Step 6 |
Once
the paint is dry it's
time to glue your turkey together. Glue on the turkey's arm
to
the body of the turkey. With a black marker, draw lines to
represent the feathers on the arm. |
| Step 7 |
Take
the turkey's head and
glue on the beak. Now make your wattle using the red
pipe cleaner. Cut and shape the pipe cleaner to form the
wattle and then glue it on.
Tip: Press and hold
the wattle until
the glue starts to dry.
|
| Step 8 |
Draw
eyes or glue on wiggle eyes. Glue the head to the turkey's
body.
Tip: You can use staples to help hold the head in place.
|
| Step 9 |
Glue
your feathers on to the back end of the turkey's body.
Lastly, glue on the turkey's feet. |
Way to go, you just made a paper plate turkey! Show it off to
your parents, grandparents, friends and teachers. Moms and
Dads,
if you want, write the name of your child on one of the feathers and
the date on another feather. This way you will always
remember
who made it and when.
