GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Are you looking for a way to make a crafty and easy centerpiece for Thanksgiving?  Why not make a unique turkey centerpiece?  It is quite simple (and edible!).  Purchase a yellow squash and a pineapple at the store.  You will also need a couple of raisins, a carrot, a red pepper and some toothpicks.  Lay the pineapple on its side on a tray.  This is the body and the tailfeathers of your turkey.  Attach the squash to the bottom of the pineapple with toothpicks to look like the neck and head of the turkey.  Next, attach two raisins to the top of the squash for eyes, and cut off the tip of the carrot for a beak.  Attach the carrot tip with a toothpick.  Cut a slice of red pepper and add it to the side of the “beak” for a gobbler.  Your turkey is done!

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the “Thanksgiving Turkey” decorative line at My Paper Shop, go and look now!  As a mom with little boys, this is the perfect combination of whimsical fun and holiday decor.  The colors are vibrant, and the turkey is every bit adorable as the children that visit during the holidays.  “Thanksgiving Turkey” is a great way to put a smile on every child’s face, from ages 0 - 120!
