Turkeycraft

Look at the turkeys we drew on Thanksgiving morning! Hand size is roughly to scale (standard 8.5 x 11 paper), although the tracings vary based on Daddy's accuracy and the wiggliness of the little girl.

Thanksgiving Contest: Each picture has a prize associated with it, just in time for Christmas! Limit one prize per person. -- Just select one question to answer, so other people can play, too.

In the order they were crafted:


It's been so cold lately, that all the turkeys have turned blue! (Obscure movie reference! First one to correctly identify the movie in the comment section gets a handwritten letter from Gabi! Like, in the mail and everything!) Actually, Gabi has recently decided that blue is her new favorite color. As such, she decided that Gabi Turkey should be all blue.


You'll notice that of all the family turkeys, Daddy Turkey is the only one that looks right. (Why don't the other turkeys look right? First one to post the correct answer in the comment section gets to hear Daddy's favorite turkey joke -- it's partially auf Deutsch, though.)


Look at the cute little turkey! (What is a baby turkey called? First one to answer correctly in the comment section gets a video of Bella personally congratulating them on being proficient at using Google... or at least a video of Bella being cute.) The Bella Turkey should actually be pictured running off the edge of the page. You may notice the lopsided tracing that results from having to hold the 15 month-old's hand still with one hand while tracing it with the other. Gabi decided that Bella's favorite colors are pink and purple.


As the only turkey not drawn by Daddy, the Mommy Turkey is much fancier, from its feet to its snood. (That's weird... it doesn't look like this turkey is playing an addictive computer game. What does snood have to do with turkeys? First one to post the right answer in the comments gets a beautifully photoshopped picture of their choice from Mommy.)

Sorry! I had meant to add a SPOILER tag, but you can't do that on here.

Daddy: The shape of the snood is what makes this one look right proper!

Mikey said...

Incorrect sir! The Bella and Gabi Turkeys have similarly-shaped snoodiness, but still don't look right. So if it's not the snood, think along the direction of what's left.

I actually like the shape of Gabi's turkey's wattle the best.

I'd like to note that I figured out the answer before I read Mikey's (very cleverly worded) reply. The reason that Mikey's turkey is the only one that looks right is because he's the only one whose left hand was traced!

Uncle Brian said...

hahaha, that is a pretty good joke!

Ok, so I had to look up the snood thing, since I'm a big fan of Snood Games (I play Snood Solitaire most every day - I leave it up on the computer - why bother closing it just to open it again). And I learned that the snood is the flap of skin that hangs over the beak of a turkey. Very interesting. Just when you think you know everything in the entire world someone goes and uses snood in the context of turkeys.... =)
