Our school is totally "turkified". There are unique turkeys everywhere! Big ones, ones in disguise, handprint turkeys, sparkly turkeys, turkey glyphs, turkeys with real feathers, and turkeys with paper feathers. My class has done the same little turkeys every year, and I will probably do them every year until I decide to retire--coffee filter turkeys! I just love these little guys! This year has been the first year I tried them with googly eyes, and they turned out just as precious as always. To make the coloful feathers, the kids color all over a coffee filter with washable markers, then dip the coffee filter into a cup of water and let the marker colors run together. Next week I'm going to have the kids tell me how they would cook a turkey and compile their answers into a turkey cook book...should be hilarious!

I just adore those turkeys. I was just saying today, to a fellow teacher, that I wanted to find another turkey idea. I just don't feel my students this year can handle paint just yet. I will just have to try these. Thanks for the wonderful ideas.
Oooohhhh...I love these turkeys...I must try this idea ASAP...I'm sure my kiddos will love coloring on a coffee filter. Enjoy your weekend!
These are adorable!

I used to have my students tell me their recipes for favorite thanksgiving foods and it was always hilarious! Can't wait to hear your students' recipes!
Oh, and these turkeys are way too cute!
What a great idea! Nice change from the hand turkey :-)
I did these turkeys today! They were a huge hit! All of the first grade teachers at my school are doing them too, now! They are so cute and so fun for the kids! The parents will love to see them up at conferences! As always, thanks!
