Turkey Day is just around the corner! And how better to celebrate than with the mascot of Thanksgiving… the turkey! Here’s a fun, colorful, collage-tastic craft from A Girl and Glue Gun that just you or the whole family can enjoy!

Grab a stack of magazines, some cardstock (plain paper will also do the job), scissors, and glue.

On a white piece of paper, draw a simple outline of a turkey. Cut squares of cardstock and give some to each family member and let them pick a color (or a few) to be in charge of. You can make a color theme like autumn or rainbow.

Now everybody start cutting out magazine clips in their colors and cover the cardstock in them. Once all the squares are covered, cut them into the shape of feathers and one for the turkey’s body. Glue them down—start with feathers so they’re behind the body. You can use the cardstock scraps for details like feet, a beak, a wattle, and eyes.

And you’re all done—right in time for Thanksgiving. Now, no matter what you’re serving on Thursday, you’ll have the most stylish turkey on the block!

Hi Scribblers,

In getting ready for Thanksgiving, I went out and picked up a little something for my friends.

Chocolate Cornucopia

This chocolate cornucopia was so cute and soooo yummy too!

Aside from this tasty treat, we also got to enjoy a front row seat to the Thanksgiving Parade!

I absolutely loved the happy ballons and crowds cheering.

Who doesn’t love Kermit the Frog??

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Scribblers!

I’m sure you are all busy preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. As a colorful way to add a little creativity to your Thanksgive spread, I thought these Autumn Dinner Place Cards might spice up your table settings!

Autumn Dinner Place Cards

To start, have your little ones go out side and search for the largest leaves they can find.

Following our the instructions in the Fall Family Tree post, make autumn colored leaf rubbings!

Next, cut out contact paper to match the size of your leaves.

Put contact paper on both sides of the leaf rubbing and make sure to smooth it out flat.

Cut out the contact lined leaf rubbing.

Write the names of your dinner guests on the leaf place cards.

Set your dinner table with your Dinner Place Cards for each of your guests and enjoy!

Hi Scribblers,

I was trying to think of a tasty Turkey Day treat and of course (you know me!), I made Turkey Cupcakes!… I love cupcakes! I like sharing them with my friends- I even bring them to my favorite local restaurant and share them with everyone there!

Make Turkey Cupcakes!

To make these cupcakes you will need cupcakes, chocolate frosting, white and green decorative frosting, peanut butter cups.

To start, make your favorite batch of cupcakes and cover the top with chocolate frosting.

Create a pastry tube by putting chocolate icing into a plastic bag and cutting off the corner. Using your newly made pastry tube, gently squeeze the bag and create a head for the turkey by swirling the frosting into a head shape about 3/4″ wide.

Cut a small peanut butter cup in half and place them on either side of the turkey’s head to create wings.

Place candy corns along the back of the cupcake between the wings to create tail feathers.

Use the decorative white and green frostings to create eyes.

Make a beak by placing a candy corn in the center of the turkey’s head.

Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the center of the cupcake to create feathers (optional).

Enjoy!
