Squanto taught the pilgrims how to catch wild turkeys for food. Make this terrifically cute turkey out of a hat!

• medium size straw hat
• red, yellow, and brown felt
• scissors
• craft glue
• 6-inch peice of twine
• heavy paper
• feathers (red, brown, orange, and white)
• googly eyes
• 6-inch piece of ribbon
• black marker

1. Ask a parent to cut felt. You will need: o two yellow feet and one beak o eight brown diamonds o one red wattle
2. Turn over hat and glue feet along bottom rim.
3. Loop twine and glue to top rim to create a hanger.
4. Cut a round piece of paper to cover the hole and glue to back.
5. After back is dry, turn hat over and glue feathers around the top front rim.
6. Glue felt diamonds on top of the feathers.
7. Glue googly eyes, beak and wattle to raised part of hat for a face.
8. Tie ribbon into a bow. Glue the bow to the bottom rim just below the turkey's face.
9. Allow your turkey to dry. Then write Psalm 107:1 on the back: “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
10. Hang on a door or window as a reminder to give thanks!
