I have had several emails about the Texture Turkeys, so I am posting directions. First you draw the body and beak on construction paper and cut them out. Draw the turkey's face with oil pastels.

Some classes used paint for the balloons, and some used oil pastels.  Bun Bun says HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
