MAKE: Paper Turkey Pinata

Here is a festive little craft for Thanksgiving. It will brighten up your table and add a little fun to the season. How to make it:
1. Fold a piece of brown paper and pinch together at the bottom (creating a "drumstick"). You can fill your drumstick with candy, toys, and confetti if you're a fun person. If not, just leave it empty.

2. Hot glue a strip of freezer paper around the bottom, then hot glue a piece of scrap tissue paper around that. The freezer paper makes the leg sturdy and the tissue paper adds a color.

3. For the body, simply fill a brown paper lunch bag with candy, toys, trinkets and confetti. Roll the bottom together creating the shape of a turkey. That's it! The kids can cut it open and feast on all the goodies inside. You're welcome.
