1st Grade Turkey Paintings

We used oil pastels and liquid watercolors…this is a yearly fav for my Kindergarteners and 1st graders. It’s easy and beautiful…and festive!
Trace a butter lid for the body, add all the parts of a turkey….outline with oil pastels adding lines, designs and patterns. Lastly, paint with liquid watercolors.

2nd Grade Collage Turkeys

Well, these are a little belated seeing as how it’s December and this was a Thanksgiving project…but maybe you can use this idea for next year?

One Day Project…
Trace a circle for the body…draw a “bowling pin” for the neck and head…collage all the parts. The legs are the most important…accordion fold!
I call these “Crazy, Creative Turkeys” ….
