Make Juice Boxes into Turkeys for Your Thanksgiving Kid's Table

I loved the monster juice boxes that I created at Halloween so much I just couldn't resist turning the juice boxes into waddling turkeys for the kid's Thanksgiving table.  These would make an adorable addition to any classroom Thanksgiving feast. 

 

Materials:

Juice boxes

Card stock

Wiggly eyes
Craft Glue 

Tape

Ruler

Pencil

Scissors

Step 1:

Cut out shapes for feathers, a triangular beak, and a wattle from card stock. 
Step 2: 

Remove the attached drinking straw from the juice box. Place juice box on top of  card stock to make a template. Using a pencil, lightly mark the width of the juice box. Remove the box and use a ruler to draw straight lines to create a rectangular shape long enough to wrap around the entire outside of your juice box. 

Step 3:  Cut out rectangle.

Step 4: Use tape to secure 3-5 feathers on the back of the juice box.  Then, tape one end of the rectangle to the juice box and wrap card stock around the outside of box. You may need to cut a small slit in the rectangle to fit the card stock snugly around feathers. 

Step 5: Use your fingers to create a crease at each corner of the juice box. This will insure a close fit.

Step 6: Attach tape to secure the other end of the card stock to the juice box. 

Step 7:  On the front top portion of the box, attach wiggly eyes and the rest of your little turkey's features with craft glue. 

Step 8: Optional
Use glue dots to reattach the drinking straw to the side of the juice box.  

Enjoy!
