CUTE BUTTERNUT SQUASH TURKEY CRAFT

The end of Halloween left us with some leftover gourds and butternut squashes so we decided to turn one into a cute and easy turkey to get in the spirit of the next holiday - Thanksgiving of course!

Let the kids go outside and collect leaves to make this feathered turkey that would also make an adorable centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table.

Butternut Squash Turkey - Materials:

- Butternut squash (or long necked shaped gourd)

- Leaves

- Googley eyes

- Yellow and red paper

- Scissors, glue, tape

Instructions:

It's pretty simple and as you see it. Tape or glue leaves on the back of the squash to form "feathers." Glue on the eyes, a small yellow triangle and red, long tear-drop shape for the wattle. You're done!
