Paint your child’s hand with red paint and press it onto the canvas to create the turkey body and feathers base.
Paint the pasta pieces in bright fall shades, use penne and fusilli for feathers, macaroni for outlining, and shells or beads for grass.
Glue the pasta along the handprint fingers to form the turkey’s feathers. You should alternate colors for a vibrant look.
Add small pasta near the bottom to create grass and glue two penne pieces for the turkey’s legs.
Draw a small beak and eye to complete your turkey’s face.
Let it all dry, then display your pasta turkey proudly, it’s a perfect blend of art, texture, and Thanksgiving charm!
