Last week my toddler and I were at the park. All around us were some of the most beautifully colored fall leaves. I knew I had wanted to do some kind of craft with my little one using leaves, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do yet. I happened to have an empty bag in my car... among other things, and we got to collecting. When I got home we placed the leaves in a giant (and I mean GIANT) dictionary and promptly forgot about them for about a week. Last year we made turkeys by tracing her hand onto multiple layers of foam paper. This year I wanted to up the ante on the turkey and came up with this cute idea. Its nothing more than the dried, pressed leaves, some cardstock, a little elmers glue and a sharpie for the eyes, legs and lettering. Such a fun, free craft that really made us both appreciate the beautiful leaves we both found.
Ok I realize this picture was taken before I put the legs on, but you can make your own legs and use your imagination.
