tie-dye turkeys

     

okay, this simple, little thanksgiving craft was a huge hit in our house so we thought we'd share it with you (granted you really won't want to make it until next year at this point, but oh well)!  we call them tie-dye turkeys. 

directions: take a coffee filter and let the kids go-to-town on it completely covering it with marker.  then, spray it with water and hang it to dry. meanwhile, cut out a turkey body of some sort (to make it even more original, you could trace a foot of a child in brown construction paper to get a similar shape).  once the colorful coffee filter is dry, put it together, mount on card-stock for durability and and there you have it - DONE!  you've gotta love a fun, simple art project!  have fun (next year, that is)!  :-)
