Glove-ly Gobbler Turn a glove into these googly-eyed gobblers for a jaunty addition to your Thanksgiving decorations. by Karin DeStefano

	What you need:
	1 glove or mitten (in an autumn hue such as orange, yellow, brown, or red) Poly-fill stuffing* 1 wooden thimble* Paintbrush Black acrylic paint 2 googly eyes* 1 scrap orange felt 1 scrap red felt Thin red ribbon (about 1 inch) Gold ribbon (about 1 inch) Multicolored ribbon (about 7 inches) *Available in craft stores

1. Invite your preschooler to stuff the inside of the glove with Poly-fill. Make sure he fills each of the fingers to its tip so that the entire glove feels soft and full.

2. To make the Pilgrim hat: Place a thumb into the wooden thimble and paint the outside black. Wait about 15 minutes for it to dry. In the meantime, glue two googly eyes to the thumb of the stuffed glove. Cut a small oval shape from the orange felt to form the turkey's beak and glue this between the eyes. Cut a squiggly shape from the red felt to make the turkey's wattle. Glue this to the side of the beak and let it dry.

3. Once the thimble is completely dry, glue a small strip of thin red ribbon to the bottom of the hat to make a trim. Cut a 1/4-inch square from a piece of gold ribbon and glue it to the top of the red ribbon to make the front of the hat. Glue the hat to the top of the stuffed thumb and let it dry thoroughly.

4. Using a piece of ribbon, tie a jaunty bow around the neck of the turkey. To make the bottom of the turkey stand up straight, tuck in the wrist part of the glove. For a gobbler grouping, craft a few more of these glove-ly turkeys in different sizes and colors.
