Lunch sack turkeys!
We saw something similar at a friend's house the other day that Lindsey loved, so we decided to make them this morning.
All you need is a couple of lunch bags, construction paper, scissors, glue, stapler, and a few pieces of newspaper to stuff the body of the turkey. Rand wasn't interested and only did some half-hearted gluing. Lindsey was all over the stapler.

Erin, the shaving cream project was on the last post (first picture of Lindsey with a cookie sheet on the table in front of her).

It's just a good texture activity and doesn't actually result in anything but a mess.

You just spray some shaving cream on a cookie sheet and let the kid swirl it around, making pictures, practicing letters or shapes, or just making globs of shaving cream. It's easy stuff to clean up and it smells good too.

A great way to do this for younger kids who might be tempted to taste it would be to spray some into a big ziplock and seal it up really well and they can squish it around in there without actually getting any on their hands.
