Last Thursday Dylan brought home a "Family Project" to do & return to school. He had to disguise a Turkey so it wouldn't get eaten on Thanksgiving. The idea was to disguise it as something to do with your family (sports, hobbies..etc..). During the cold months one of our favorite family activities (besides doing art work) is watching movies - so....Dylan wanted to design his turkey as -Tin Man- from "The Wizard of Oz", but before starting this project we copied it so Ryan could do it too! Another one of our favorite movies is "The Polar Express" - and although I think dressing a turkey as a train would be fun, I have a feeling it would be difficult since trains have no eyes....We decided to go with Santa....
Here are the turkeys we made...this was so much fun! Dylan & Ryan LOVE doing any type of art work so this was wonderful for them plus J.D. & I love getting to spend family time doing it with them.
They both turned out so cute!!
Dylan did most of his J.D. did have to cut out the part for the"arms", boots, hat, & axe because the cardboard stuff we were using was a little hard to cut with safety scissors, but the rest Dylan did as well as gluing it all together (which I guess needed a TON of glue because he used 1/2 a bottle, but oh well!!)
Ryan needed a little more help with his he is still learning how to use scissors(ever since he cut his own hair he hasn't got to practice much). So I cut out almost everything, but let Ryan scissor at it a few times while I held it still for him then he glued it altogether!!
