Family Turkey Project

This week, Kyan brought home a Family Turkey Project and today we finally had time to create him! We had to help our turkey make it safely past Thanksgiving this year by disguising him as part of our family. Suggestions were offered for those that needed help, but Kyan knew right away that he wanted to make a Cardinals turkey! Thought it was pretty fitting, since we are BIG football fans in the Roseland house! He specifically wanted his turkey to sport a Fitz jersey, but there wasn't enough room, so he settled for the red!

Now, being the crafty mama that I like to think I am, when it said that we could use any medium to decorate, I talked Kyan out of decorating with just colored pencils or crayons and went for the mess! Rice, beads, feathers, jersey, googly eyes, feathers, and sparkly stickers (we had everything but the stickers! Bonus!!!) were right up my alley, and his too! The rice was his favorite part! He said that he loved the way it felt on his hands!

Meet, Larry! Our family turkey!
Isn't he cute! Hoping we save him from Thanksgiving dinner this year!
