Five craft spoons are required for each ring. Using tempera paint, color one of them yellow for the turkey's head, the others, a variety of colors (they'll be used for tail feathers). 2. For the turkey's body, cut a 2-inch section from a cardboard paper towel tube and paint it brown. 3. From orange pipe cleaners, shape a pair of short legs with three-toed turkey feet. Fit the legs through small holes in the cardboard tube, bending the tips inside the tube to secure them. 4. Use a marker to draw eyes on the face and use tacky glue to attach a red felt wattle. 5. Finally, glue the head to the front of the body and the tail feathers to the back.<br />*<span style="font-size:78%;">from family fun*</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2854255970701703725-4719797245766690790?l=mamababyforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mama &amp; Baby Forumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03938305929936589281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854255970701703725.post-9897161409239385192007-11-15T20:28:00.000-08:002007-11-15T20:35:23.258-08:00*from Family Fun*<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q168/mama12146/thanksnews.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />RECIPE INGREDIENTS:<br />24 frosted cupcakes<br />24 Nutter Butter cookies<br />2-3 tablespoons of white frosting or decorator's gel<br />Mini chocolate chips<br />Fruit leather, various flavors and colors<br />toothpicks<br />1. To make each turkey, press the lower portion of a Nutter Butter cookie into a frosted cupcake for the bird's head.<br /><br />2. Use tiny dabs of frosting to stick on mini-chocolate chip eyes and a red fruit leather wattle.<br /><br />3. For each turkey's tail, use a butter knife to cut out a dozen feather shapes (about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide) from fruit leather.<br /><br />4. Lay 6 of the feather shapes on a flat surface and place a wooden toothpick lengthwise atop each so that one end of the toothpick extends about an inch below the feather. Layer another fruit leather feather layer atop each of the 6 shapes, sandwiching the toothpicks between them.<br /><br />5. Press the 2 layers together to make them stick, then fringe the edges of the feather with a butter knife. Now your child can stick the colored feathers into the cupcake behind the cookie head.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2854255970701703725-989716140923938519?l=mamababyforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mama &amp; Baby Forumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03938305929936589281noreply@blogger.com0
