Instructions:
- Flour and Water Glue Mixture: Combine 1.5 tablespoons of white flour with 1.5 tablespoons of water.
- Cook, Stir, and Cool: Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring consistently until it thickens and becomes a smooth paste. This typically takes around 5 minutes. After cooling, you're ready to go!

Now, let's move on to crafting!
Materials
- Craft Glue (optional)
- Pinecones
- Colorful feathers
- Small piece of orange paper or foam
- 2 googly eyes
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pinecone Position: Place your pinecone on its side, so you're facing the bottom (which will be the turkey's face).
- Add Feathers: Using the homemade glue, paint dots on the pinecone and decorate with the colorful feathers. Impatient kids can hold the feathers in place for a few minutes as the glue dries.
- Turkey Gizzard: Cut a small triangle out of the orange paper or foam for the turkey's gizzard.
- Eyes and Gizzard: Apply the googly eyes and turkey gizzard to the front of your turkey. And voilà! Your unique turkey pinecone is ready for a place of honor in your Thanksgiving display!
