Supplies:
- Glue Gun
- Construction paper or faux feathers for decorating
- Wiggly eyes
- Crochet string. This works the BEST. Big roll. Can be found at Walmart. NOT YARN.
- Red or yellow plastic SOLO cup. These are made by DIXIE, but the generic brand from Walmart work well also. They are plastic and NOT flimsy.
- New sponge
- Scissors
Poke two holes near each other in the bottom of the cup.
Get your crochet string and cut a piece the length of your arm. Folded in half, this should be a good length for the project. Feed one end through one hole in the bottom of the cup and feed the OTHER end through the other hole.
Pull both pieces down so they are hanging evenly, like a bell, from the cup.
Cut a small rectangular piece of a sponge.
Tie it to the bottom of the string hanging out of the cup.
Embellish your cup with eyes, feathers, a beak, gobbler and more. Go crazy! Hand print feathers are fun, but remember, HOT GLUE works best with SOLO cups!
He's finished. Now dampen the sponge and fold it in half surrounding the string while reaching into the cup. Quickly pull down on the string with the damp sponge creating a great "gobble" effect. Go fast, slow, loud or proud! Your choice... Just have fun.
Your kids will love it...
