I’ve been making this pine cone turkey craft since my very first year teaching!  Sometimes, I get lucky and I have a student who has a “pine cone tree” and is able to bring them in for the class.  I usually buy the scented pine cones on discount after the holiday season and save them for next year… or I’ll buy them for our house and bring in my old ones that have lost their scent.  Then, we add feathers, a pipe cleaner head, googly eyes, and a felt beak and waddle.
