Cut out the turkey

Create your turkey’s body and feathers with your brown paper. (You can make them separate by cutting just a head and gluing brown feathers to the back of the head. But we wanted our turkey to be all one piece.) Fold your brown paper in half vertically and cut out a circle at the bottom for the body and 2 feather shapes. Open up your paper and you have a full turkey with 4 feathers.
