Kid's Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece

Thanksgiving is just days away and I've been searching for ideas for the kid's table.  Unfortunately, most of the table ideas I've come across involve word searches, glass mason jars, and tall autumn tree centerpieces.  All of which are wonderful ideas, for a ten year old.  But for a two year old who can hardly sit still long enough to say grace, those ideas are just not going to cut it.  The glass mason jar would be knocked on the floor within seconds of sitting down, spilling milk across the table (did I mention we'll be using a vinyl tablecloth). The tree is just begging for my son to balance himself on the chair to reach up and grab a paper leaf (bringing it crashing to the ground).  
     For a table full of toddlers, I need a table that's fun and durable.  This little turkey is the perfect centerpiece for wondering little hands that can't sit still.  His body is made from card stock attached to a plastic container filled with black beans.  The "tail feathers" are individual paper cones filled with popcorn for our little munchkins to snack on while we pile their plates with roasted turkey and cornbread stuffing.  

Materials:
Clear plastic vase/candy container (Party City) 
Card stock: Brown, yellow, red, and multiple patterns/colors for "feathers" 
Googly eyes 
Black beans or other vase filler
Favorite snack
Double-sided tape
