More tips for you

1. This project works best when using a low heat glue gun. However, it is always best to use what is age-appropriate for your child so please do so.
2. While this project would work with simple construction paper, you could uses something more firm to insure that the 'feathers' hold up. Cardstock or foam board are good choices.
3. Gluing each feather on one at a time is a nice idea for spacing. However, it may be easier to arrange the feathers and glue them all together before
   gluing them to the pudding cup.

Personalize your pudding craft project.

This project is basically a cut out the template pieces and then gluing them on to the pudding cup. However, you can personalize your turkeys too.

How to personalize your turkey pudding cups.

• Instead of using pudding cups, try using gelatin or applesauce cups.
• Make this craft idea even more personable by using traced hands on paper for the feathers instead of the template feathers.
• Add additional features such as silly hair, feet, or arms (pipe cleaners, felt, markers etc can be helpful).
