This turkey jar was a fun Thanksgiving project. I got the idea from I Love to Create, which calls them "Gobble Gobble Globes." However, I switched up the order of the steps, because to me pouring the water in at the very end would risk getting the decorations wet! Here's the order we did it in with our supplies... these would be very cute place settings if you wanted to make a bunch of them!
Supplies:
- Empty, clean baby food jar
- Scrapbook or construction paper in various fall colors
- White glue or glue dots
- Gold glitter
- Water
- Googly eyes
- Fill the baby food jar with a generous amount of glitter and water.
- Holding the baby food jar upside down, attach the googly eyes and a triangle of yellow or orange paper to the jar with glue.
- Trace your child's hand on paper and cut it out. Use this template to trace and cut out multiple copies of their hand shape (we used 4).
- Once the glue for the eyes and beak has dried, use glue to attach the "feathers," fanned out, to the back of the jar. Allow to dry.
