The Turkey Memo Clip is a simple and fun Thanksgiving craft, and this cute little gobbler keeps track of your Thanksgiving shopping list on your fridge. Assemble the parts for making the Turkey Memo Clip and hand them out in baggies so the kids can make this craft while they wait for Thanksgiving dinner.

Materials

• 1 small red paper party plate
• 3 colored popsicle sticks
• 1 clothespin
• 1 heavy-duty magnet

• 2 small wiggle eyes
• craft glue
• scissors
• red magic marker

Instructions

1.
Cut small the paper party plate into quarters.
2.
Take 1 of the quarter-plates and cut slits about 1-inch apart along the edge of the plate, creating a coarse fringe.
3.
Draw a nose at the top of the clothespin with the red magic marker (my nose looks like a backward "S"). Then glue the 2 wiggle eyes to each side of the nose.
4.
Glue the clothespin to the center of the quarter-plate. Make sure the pinchy part is facing down, so it can be used to hang/display notes and art.

5.
Cut each popsicle stick in half with heavy-duty scissors (I used kitchen shears), or break them in half and trim off splintery edges with regular scissors.
6.
Glue the popsicle stick halves to the curved part of the plate in between the slits you cut earlier.

7.
When the glue is completely dry, turn the plate over and glue a heavy-duty magnet to the back of the Turkey Memo Clip.

8.
When the glue is completely dry, hang your craft on the fridge and use it to display Thanksgiving art and reminder notes.

Tips

• Finding Magnets: You can find heavy-duty round disc magnets in the craft section of your local craft store, or in the magnet section of the hardware store. You need to use a heavy-dutymagnet to hold weight of the Turkey Memo Clip.
• Plate of Many Colors: Instead of a red plate, substitute a white party plate and let your child color the plate before assembling the turkey.
