Here’s another cute idea from Housing a Forest that would work especially well with kids who love to build or sculpt. Once again, it’s a two-part activity for which your kids will need to scavenge for the best sticks to build their turkey. You can use oil pastels to give the twigs a little color, or just leave them natural if you don’t want to add that step or if your kids’ fine motor skills aren’t quite there yet.
