Forautumn turkeyas a picture you can find a round object to draw around. This will become your guideline for the fan-shaped tail. Take your tempera paint and paint the back of a leaf. Place the sheet down on the line and press with your fist.

Change the leaves and colors. When the prints are dry, cut out the fan shape.

Cut out the additional parts for the turkey from colored paper. You need a circle of wrapping paper, an elongated pear shape for the head, a yellow triangle for the beak and a red squiggle. Glue all as shown. You can use 2 googly eyes and 2 small branches (for the feet). Finally, you can form a beautiful frame from strips of black paper.

For the squirrels, start with the tail first. This time the leaves must be arranged in a line, from the large leaf to the small leaf. Cut out the squirrel's body from brown construction paper and use a white pencil to draw lines for the hands, legs and stomach. A few details can enliven the picture. Glue the squirrel's body over the tail and add a brown felt ear, black nose and eyes. Glue a piece of cone in your hand. Use four strips of black paper to create a frame around the image.
