Gobble...Flobble

It's close, right?!

I have no crafting ability but I will try my hardest to teach the kids in my ASP different crafts.

We made turkeys today in honor of Thanksgiving.  I asked them today what was Thanksgiving.  I heard, a day where you eat lots of food, when you get presents and you are thankful for them, a day to eat turkey.  Oh kids, they just keep me laughing.

So this craft, I found on Pinterest at Our best bites.  You can get the full directions from their site.

So this is what I used.  I couldn't find candy corn today.  They must have already pulled them from the shelves.  I think they are seasonal.  Sometimes you can find the generic ones but couldn't find anything.  So I thought, we could use pretzels for the feathers but that didn't work and we used chocolate chips.

So I followed the directions step by step but crafting is not my field.  I want to be creative so bad that I try really hard.  My best crafting project is coloring and even then sometimes my kids ask why I color something a certain way. 

My little kids were the ones that crafted with me today, so they are pretty easy to satisfy and don't judge my crafting skills too much.  They were really patient and we all had a blast making our turkeys.

One of my kids and her finished project.  She was so proud of her turkey.  She did a great job.  Hers looked so much better than mine.  Mine looks a little cock-eyed.

I pray that one day, my crafting fingers come alive and the passion for craft becomes visable in the work I do.

The kids had so much fun they wanted to make them next week.  I wonder if it's because I let them eat some of the candy while we were making them.  Can't say no to the chocolate.

Gobble, gobble!
