The  turkey in Turkey Trouble realizes that he is in trouble and decides to disguise himself as other animals on the farm. Every time he thinks he has found a winning costume a different farm animal recognizes him. He then tries to pretend he is one of them.His disguises work for him in the end! What is he at the end of the story? He is a pizza delivery man. Thank goodness the family likes pizza.

I love the turkey’s disguises. He uses upcycled costumes to keep him off the table.

Turkey Hat 

 We glued a set of yellow turkey legs, a turkey head with face, and a bunch of turkey feathers to a  brown band of construction paper and made the cutest turkey hat.

Paper Bag Turkey 

We gathered together newspaper, construction paper feathers, wiggly eyes, a turkey head and facial features made of construction paper, a paper bag, and a bread tag to make the paper bag turkey.

Then we stuffed the bag with newspaper and closed the bag with the bread tie.

 

 

JDaniel added the eyes and beak to the turkey’s head before I attached it to the front of the bag.

We ended the craft by adding his feet. I think he came out really cute.
