Turkey Felt Finger Puppets

Gobble, gobble!  These guys are too cute to eat!  Make a batch for classroom fun, or for your thanksgiving party. They are fun over silverware at the kids table!  Pass them out to young students after story time to help them retell the story!  Put one on a craft stick and insert into a bouquet or seasonal wreath!

Tips: For feathers, bend a harvest striped ribbon into a U-shape and lightly glue in middle of back piece prior to sewing. Use bits of red felt for the waddle and yellow and black fabric paint for eyes.

Happy Thanksgiving!
