Gosh, I love setting out fun play invitations for my girl. This one, set out today for our Thanksgiving celebration is nothing new, but the classics are classics for a reason, right? My kindergarten students used to love creating colourful feathered play dough turkeys at our play dough station and Miss G loved it just as much too!
Here’s how I set out the invitation… A double batch of cinnamon vanilla scented play dough, some colourful craft feathers, googly eyes, and some foam pieces all placed inside our favourite divided Ikea tray {Canada | US}.
The foam pieces included some yellow and orange triangles as beaks and a variety of wiggly red shapes to serve as snoods.
I always love seeing how different people use the same materials in different ways {in this case, to create the same thing}…
Here’s Brad’s turkey…
Here’s mine…
And this little turkey {affectionately named Matilda} belongs to Miss G.
And Matilda’s baby? Well that’s Lucy, of course. ☺
I just adore how she created turkeys by starting with a pancake {not something I would have thought to do} and I’m excited to see what comes of this play tray throughout the week.

I would love to have your play dough recipe. I teach elementary art in a school of about 670 students, My kindergarteners would love to make the turkeys.
