Albuquerque Turkey



A friend of mine who is a preschool teacher gave me this idea and the pattern to Albuquerque Turkey for me to make with my grandkids in our "Grama School". I will tell you about that later.
1-Take a big box and cover it with brown paper
2- draw a turkey head and have them color it or just cut the shape out of colored cardstock
3- draw and cut out a black hat out of black cardstock
4- make the wings
5- glue them together
6-reinforce behind the hat so it will stand up straight. You may use a piece of poster paper or a flat ruler you have around.
7- glue the head and hat and body on the box
8-Cut stips of brown paper bag for the legs
9- Cut out shoes and glue to legs and glue legs to the box.

Now you have a Thanksgiving friend. Teach the kids the song
It goes like this- to the tune of Clementine

Albequerque is a Turkey
And he's feathered and he's fine
And he wobbles and he gobbles
And he's absolutely mine.

He's the best pet that you can get.
Better than a dog or cat.
He's my Albequeque turkey
And I'm awfully proud of that.
