Easy Turkey Craft

This simple Thanksgiving craft makes a fun Turkey Day activity to keep the kids busy before dinner! This is also a great classroom activity. You can swap out the printable “tail” template I have created for your own printed paper (or have the kids color their own!). Remember, you will need two 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper for the tail and one piece of card stock to print out the head and handle template. Click the “Make It” button for the quick instagram video tutorial.

Dryer Balls - I used these

Puffy Paint - red, black and white

Elmer’s Glue Stick

Fabric scraps for pupils and irises (tip: I used the flat, scratchy green sponges from the Dollar Store for irises, and black felt)

Scissors

Optional: Googly eyes and Halloween adhesive eyeballs. I found mine at Michael’s. You can cut circles out of fabric and use
white & black puffy paint for details if you don’t have craft eyeballs on hand.

*Allow puffy paint to dry for a few hours or overnight before moving to next step. You can use a heat gun if you are impatient like me. Here’s my go-to dryer.

So simple it’s almost like witchcraft!

Liquid Sculpey is not just for Halloween, but this time of year means the perfect season to discover the possibilities of this fun, easy and kid-friendly craft supply.
Check out this quick video for some fiendishly fun Halloween ideas using
this versatile form of polymer clay.

9 Easy Steps

Purchase a few bottles of Liquid Sculpey. It will go fast when you are having fun! I like the Pearl and White colors the best.
Purchase some spooky Halloween silicone molds if you do not have some already. You can use the silicone molds intended for candy (found at hobby stores like Michael’s) or those specifically for crafts. Both work. I will link some below.
Heat your oven to 275 degrees.
Shake your liquid Sculpey and squeeze enough into the mold to cover the bottom. You do not need to make it too thick, just thick enough that you can no longer see the mold and so it won’t be so thin it breaks.
Tap your filled molds on a hard surface to remove air bubbles.
Place molds on a cookie sheet and bake for about 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes…they will be hot!
Gently bend the silicone and push the baked shape out of its mold. With
sharp scissors, trim off any excess dried clay around the edges.
Use finished molds to add to decor, make into jewelry, give as goody bags items, add to art work and more!!
We would love to know what you come up with! Happy “sculpting”!
