Pinecone Turkeys from Arts and Crafts Day

Materials:

Self hardening clay: (see link)

http://www.kidsrcrafty.com/self-hardening_clay.htm

Pinecones ( I found a bag at Michaels for $2.50)
Acorns, or any other nut with "hats". I gathered a bunch but had to glue the hats on.
Googly eyes
Orange felt or paper or clay (the turkey's waddle)
Feathers, leaves, colorful paper for the tail feathers, cut into strips

Stick the pinecone onto a lump of clay, the front end tilted slightly lower than the back.
Glue the acorn onto the front of the pinecone. You may need to break away a point or two to get it positioned securely.
Stick on googly eyes right below the "hat".
Glue the orange fabric (the waddle)so its draping over the tip of the acorn (the turkey's beak).
Glue tail feathers around the back.
When the clay dries, the kids can paint it and the paint will also act as a sealant to protect it from crumbling.
