Before starting you might want to check how flat your turkey cookie cutters<\/a> lay. It helps with the painting.<\/p>\n You are going to place the turkey cookie cutter on the watercolor paper. It won’t matter where you place the cookie cutter. It just needs to be on the paper.<\/p>\n You are going to hold the cookie cutter on the outside or the top. It depends on the skill level to which they will do. Then you pick a color and use a large paint brush tp paint inside the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n You are going to want to try and get all the little corners of the cookie cutter. And this can be a challenge.<\/p>\n Next you are going to lift off the cookie cutter and look at see it on the paper. You can see it is the shape of the cookie cutter. And it is not perfect that is okay. That makes it different. You can have older kids touch up the painting.<\/p>\n Finally keep painting turkeys. We uses two cookie cutters for this painting. And you can be as creative as you want with them. And the cookie cutters can overlap a little bit.<\/p>\n You can see that you can add more colors as you do. There are lots of different brown colors but if kids paint other colors that is okay. We recently saw a wild turkey that had some white color on it. It was fun for kids to see.<\/p>\n Let kids be creative with this turkey. If the turkey is upside down that is okay. They are having fun painting and that is what matters.<\/p>\n The Washi Tape Turkey<\/a> is tons of fun to make and looks really neat when it is done. It is also great for fine motor and kids don’t even know it.<\/p>\n The No-Prep Turkey Week Packs<\/a> are great for working on disguising a turkey and turkey themed activities for prek, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade.<\/p>\n Turkey Feather Shape Tracing<\/a> has 5 fun shapes for kids to trace and color for the turkey’s feathers.<\/p>\n Turkey Color Pack<\/a> is a great color pack that has matching puzzles, word puzzles, color word worksheets, an easy reader book, color clip cards, turkey color feather matching, and more!<\/p>\n Turkey Counting Mats<\/a> has numbers 1 to 20 with 4 different types of mats to use with kids.
