If you’re swamped with work, preparations, and the endless mom-tasks that come with the holiday season, and you’re seeking an easy, quick, yet super creative idea, then you’ve landed in the right spot.
Have you ever disguised a turkey? There are several different ways to disguise your turkey! Today we are going to focus on the Disguise a Turkey Popcorn idea.
The Disguise a Turkey idea comes from the book, Turkey Trouble.
Turkey is in trouble. Bad trouble. The kind of trouble where it’s almost Thanksgiving . . . and you’re the main course. But Turkey has an idea–what if he doesn’t look like a turkey? What if he looks like another animal instead? After many hilarious attempts, Turkey comes up with the perfect disguise to make this Thanksgiving the best ever!
Here’s why disguising your turkey as a popcorn bucket should be your go-to choice this year:
Effortless and Time-Saving
No need to hunt for myriad supplies or spend hours brainstorming. With the popcorn disguise, all you need is some popcorn and red and white striped paper. Or, you can choose the easy printable pack below and just some scissors and glue. Easy peasy!
Super Engaging for Kids
Which kid doesn’t love popcorn? The relatability of the theme means they’ll be excited to jump in and help, making it a fun-filled family activity.
Unique & Memorable
While other turkeys might come disguised as superheroes or animals, your popcorn turkey will stand out, making it a memorable project that teachers and classmates will talk about.
Multipurpose
The project doesn’t just serve the purpose of the disguise. It also helps in improving your child’s fine motor skills as they cut, paste, and design their popcorn turkey.
Shareable Moments
It’s an Instagram-worthy project! Share your child’s creation on social media, and watch the compliments roll in.
Quality Time Together
Take this as an opportunity to bond with your child. Discuss the funniest places the turkey could hide or the silliest disguises it could wear. It’s a great way to fuel their imagination.
