Unforgettable Childhood

We had a Daisy Girl Scout meeting last night. After we learned about Honesty and Fairness we switched gears to Thanksgiving.

I found this super cute Turkey Snack Idea from Amy over at The Idea Room.

You will have to check out her Turkeys and Instructions. Her Turkeys turned out much cuter than ours. I had a three year-old helper. I often have to remind myself that it is all about making memories with her. If I always do it myself, she is not having fun.

I was going to let my Daisy Scouts make their own snack. . .but I decided it was a better plan to just let them eat it.

The craft that the girls did was a Paper Plate Turkey from Parents.com. We adapted the craft a little bit. The instructions called for hats. We decided to just make the Turkeys as a Thanksgiving decoration.

It worked really well to have them paint with Q-tips. I had never had them try that technique before.

The Turkeys turned out super cute. I did have all of the pieces cut out for the girls before hand. They just had to glue everything into place. We were on a time schedule and I have learned that sometimes the cutting can be frustrating when it is little circles.

My little one really wanted to make a Turkey and turn it into the hat like the picture on the instructions. I think that will be our craft project for today.
