Family Turkey Project

Dear Family,

We need your help! Turkey’s were sent home today. Help decorate your child’s turkey and help him make it safely past Thanksgiving by disguising him so the farmer cannot find him. Turkeys that have made it through in the past have been dressed like ballerinas, football players, farmers, hula dancers, Elvis, etc. Think of something unique or special to your family and disguise your turkey accordingly.

Please have fun and be creative! You may use anything you can think of to decorate. You can find items around your home to attach to the turkey to disguise him as something else. Don’t go to any expense. Family turkeys in the past have been decorated with crayons, macaroni, craft feathers, tissue paper, wallpaper scraps, dried beans, rice, clothes and shoes cut from newspaper adds, ribbons, fabric scraps, etc.

Please follow these directions when disguising your turkey.
