Turkey Pine Cones!This is one turkey that won’t get eaten this

Thanksgiving. You can make a flock to decorate the dinner table or for all the guests to take home.

CRAFT MATERIALS: Yellow and red felt

Tacky glue Googly eyes

Brown pom-poms Pinecones

Pipe cleaners

1) For each turkey, cut out a yellow beak and a red wattle from felt. Then glue the beak, wattle, and a pair of googly eyes onto a pom-pom to create the turkey’s head.

2) Glue the pom-pom head to the tip of a pine-cone. Allow the glue to dry.

3) Wrap a pipe cleaner around the middle of the turkey’s cone body, starting from the top and twisting it together a few times on the un-derside. Separate the ends of the pipe cleaner (below the twists) and bend each tip into a 3-toed foot.

4) For the turkey’s tail, individually wrap 3 or 4 pipe cleaners around the back of the pine-cone, starting from the underside and twisting them together a few times on the top of the pinecone to secure them. Then loop both ends of each pipe cleaner to shape tail feathers.

How to Play Backyard Bowling:

Step 1: Find six empty two-liter plastic bottles. Pour water into each one until each is nearly half full. Cap the bottles and now you have bowling pins.

Step 2: Stand the pins up in front of a wall or fence. Arrange them into three rows with one row with one bottle, the next row with two, and the last row with three.

Step 3: Stand about 15 steps away from the pins, and roll a softball toward the pins.

How many bottles can you knock over? How many tries does it take to knock them all over?

What You’ll Need- Water

- Softball - 6 two-liter plastic bottles
