    child's head.
  2. Now take the cardboard, cut a strip 5 by 1 1/2 inches to use for a turkey neck. Fold it three times, then glue one end to the back of the paper
    circle.
  3. For a beak, you can fold yellow construction paper and cut out a small double triangle. Then, cut a rounded L from red paper forthe turkey's
    wattle.
  4. To create turkey eyes, draw a black circle on each pom-pom using the black marker. You can glue the eyes, wattle and one side of the beak to the head. Let them
    dry. Then, glue the loose end of the neck to the center of the headband.
  5. Now, wrap the headband around your child's head. Finally, glue on construction paper feathers and wings. Your new fun and exciting cool looking Thanksgiving turkey hat is ready.
