Instructions

• With the lunch bags stacked on top of one another, fold them in half to form a "book". Punch two holes along the folded edge of the bags.
  
• From the back, insert each end of one rubber band through each hole. Insert the craft stick through the rubber band loops to secure it to the folded edge of the book.
  
• Create the turkey face on the front of the book by cutting out and gluing on a yellow triangle for a beak and a red teardrop shape for the wattle. Add googly eyes.
• Add the tail feathers by cutting feather shapes from recycled cardstock (such as cereal boxes) and gluing them onto the top edge of the back of the book.
  
• Cut a piece of brown cardstock paper a little bit larger than the size of the book and glue it onto the back of the book, over the tail feathers, to add support to the book.
• Use photos, Thanksgiving stickers, collage, coloring, drawing, and/or writing to document what you are thankful for on the pages of your Thankful Turkey Book!
