Paint Chip Turkey

11/20/2019

Every time I am in a store that sells paint I grab a couple of paint chip samples and save them for when we do activities with paint chips. This week we made made turkeys with them.

To make the paint chip turkeys you will need to have:

colored cardstock paper
construction paper
glue/glue sticks
paint chips
wiggle eyes
scissors

The children start by cutting a turkey body out of brown cardstock or construction paper. Next they cut feather shapes from the paint chip samples and glue them on to the back of the turkey body.

Children can decide what colors and how many of the paint chips to use. They then cut a beak ... gobbler and feet from cardstock paper and glue on the turkey body. The last step is to glue on the wiggle eyes. If you do not want to use wiggle eyes you can also make construction paper eyes.

I do the same thing you do shelley. I grab those paint chips every chance I get so I already have a bunch on hand for this really cute project that will help with scissor skills. I love your site so much and check it everyday to see what you have added.
