Kids Craft: Stuffed Plushie TurkeysYou must check out the cutest stuffed turkeys my sister made with her students today. They are so adorable and made with inexpensive stretchy gloves ($1.40 for 4 @ Target). They are the perfect "turkey"craft and kids can make them on Thanksgiving day.
Materials:
1 stretch glove
Felt squares
Stuffing material (pillow, tissues, etc.)
Glue (hot w/parents help or tacky)
Scissors
Cardboard
Blank or used CD
Buttons/etc. for eyes
Steps:
Form a base: Trace around a CD and cut a circle from cardboard and a circle from felt. Glue the felt circle to the cardboard.
Stuff the glove. Cut from felt: feathers, wattles or eyes. Glue the felt cutouts and/or buttons to the thumb piece of the glove.
Add a bead of glue around the opening of the glove and glue to the center of the base.

Hi Cathie,
I love this post, but this comment is going to be gushing in general - I love Creative Juice (it has permanent status on my TiVo) and am a big fan of the projects you and Steve share with us everyday!
Thank you, thank you!
