We made a "beautiful" paper bag turkey with foamy textured feathers. This was a multi-day project for us because we had to wait for the feathers to dry.
To begin you will need: shaving cream, acrylic paint in a variety of colors, a straw or stick for stirring, paper cut into the shape you want, brown paper bag, scrap paper, googly eyes and a very eager artist!
Start by putting a big glob of shaving cream in a pan.
Then let your little artist begin squeezing in paint drops as they see fit.
Next you need to swirl the paint into the shaving cream mixing the colors together.
Push your paper down into the shaving cream.
Set aside to dry. (They dry with a puffy texture)
Next you will create the turkey's body. I decided since our feathers were gigantic, we would do a stuffed paper bag turkey body. Olive got to coloring the turkey's body, and of course, it has a rainbow body.
This was the best part for Olive, scrunching the paper! After you have it good and smashed, put it in the bag and staple the opening together.
We sat an empty coffee container on the turkey to hold the feathers in place while they dried.
And wah-la! Our beautiful turkey! Perfect for the Thanksgiving buffet!
