A fun holiday project for those rainy November days…

Also take a look at Easy Gingerbread Houses for more holiday craft fun!

MATERIALS:

Figure on an hour more or less, depending on how rambunctious your child is…

1. Cut head and feet shapes in the top and bottom edges of a 5- by 7-inch rectangle of colorful poster board, leaving a 2- by 7-inch center band.

2. Use a craft knife to cut 2 wings near the center of the band.

3. Curl the cardboard by wrapping the ends of the band around something round, such as a rolling pin. Remove the band, overlap the ends, and secure them with double-sided tape.

4. Use a glue stick to attach 2 googly eyes, a red paper wattle, and a yellow paper beak. To adorn each mini tom with fancy feathers, simply fold a colorful napkin accordion style and tuck it inside the ring.

There you have it, a simple and fun project that will certainly become a sweet memory of time spent with Mom or Dad in years to come.
