Turkey Squash Thanksgiving Craft Project

Turkey Squash

If you read the fancy and inspiring home magazines, then you know that no Thanksgiving table is complete without a show stopping center piece. Should you do a three-tiered montage of fall foliage? Or maybe a collection of precisely stacked gourds and pumpkins?

Actually, I think the best table setting is one with special meaning, so why not have your child help you make a Turkey Squash for your Thanksgiving table this year? The craft is easy and fun and the result is absolutely adorable!
