[blparent] school projects

[Judy Jones]

I remember one time in Campfire Girls we made turkeys.  The body was an 
apple, and you position the apple with the top and bottom of the core going 
horizontal so that, for instance one end of the apple is on the right, the 
other on the left, head on the right, tailfeathers on the left.

>From there, you place tooth picks in the bottom undersides of the apple to 
represent legs.  On the foot end of each toothpick you place an olive.

The tail feathers are made by placing toothpicks in a fan-shape across the 
back end of the turkey  to form fluffed-out tail feathers, and you string 
raisins on each toothpick until they are all covered.  The head you could 
place a toothpick deeper into the apple on the top near the front end, and 
place another olive.  Turkey heads are very small compared to their 
tailfeathers.

A fun way to make a turkey out of food.

I appreciate all of the ideas. My creativity has at least livened up a
little. :)

I am going to check my local big box store for some turkey feathers in the
craft section. I will then either find a template to use for tracing or use
his hand print and make the turkey body from brown construction paper. After
we glue the body and feathers down, I will let him use either markers or
paint depending on my bravery that day, to make a face and decorate the
body.I have a bag of pinto beans already though and may use those too.

The picture of a person is funny, but will not work well for my son. I do
not think his language skills are up to presenting a coherent story to the
class using that pun.

My daughter traced a turkey hand on cardboard once when she was in
preschool, which was interesting to me because I'd never heard of such a
thing.  We outlined it in yarn, and then she filled it in with dry brown
pinto beans, uncooked white rice and popcorn, and multi-colored noodles.

All I can think of would be a drawing of a turkey made by tracing his hand.
He could certainly put yarn or something around it to make it more tactile
and interesting. Also, I'm sure there are tons of ideas about how to make
cute turkeys on the internet. Good luck!
