Thanksgiving: "Giving Thanks" Paper Bag Turkey Craft

A fun and easy centerpiece children can make with a few supplies and these printable designs. Parental guidance needed.

Supplies:

1 small paper bag
scissors
glue or tape
marker
printed turkey template

Directions:

1. Stuff small paper bag with tissue paper or paper towels. Twist and seal end.

2. Print and cut out "Giving Thanks" Paper Bag Turkey Craft sheets (2 pages).

3. Assemble head by taping or gluing tabs, then cover sealed end of paper bag with paper turkey head and secure with tape or glue. (I cut a slit in the back of the head so that it fits more snugly against the paper bag body.)

4. Glue or tape turkey wings and tail to body.

5. Write down things that your children are thankful for--friends, family, health, etc.--on each feather and glue or tape onto turkey tail.

Happy Thanksgiving!
