Blind Crafting: Disguising The Turkey

The turkey disguise school assignment is pretty popular, and I’ve seen some really cool disguises over the years. This week, Titus had the opportunity to disguise his turkey, and I wanted to make it easy for him to do it himself and have fun.

Titus isn’t a huge fan of arts and crafts, but I always try to get him involved in different activities. I didn’t want to put too much effort into the disguise, so I rummaged through my craft cupboard for some textured items. We decided to use pompoms and came up with the idea of a gumball machine.

To help Titus out, I used hot glue to outline the turkey’s head and make it 3D. Normally, I would use puffy paint, but I didn’t want to wait for it to dry. Then, I found some red paper and cut out the shape, which I ran through a press to give it a corrugated look. I glued the base down, and Titus started sticking the pompoms onto his turkey.

With a bit of patience and a few adaptations, Titus managed to cleverly conceal his turkey while also showcasing some impressive independent skills.
