I am still on my mission to decorate my house for Thanksgiving, but I wanted to do a fun project that my youngest could do too. Sometimes it is hard to come up with a craft that my 5yr old will like and that my 20month old could do too. Having two kids so far apart is great in some ways and is a bit of a struggle in others.
But even though it is hard to find just the right project it can be done and these cute paper turkey's are perfect for any age. And I am giving you this free printable pattern so you can make as many as you and your kids want.
This is actually a perfect craft for Thanksgiving day. Just print out the pattern and cut out all the pieces from your colored paper and then when the kids start getting restless waiting for food or waiting for the adults to come out of their food coma after dinner, just have them make some Turkey's. They need little supervision on this one and it will give them something fun to do.
Supplies
Paper Turkey Pattern
Colored Paper (or CardStock)
Glue Stick
Googly Eyes
Directions
Print your pattern, then cut it out
Trace your pattern on to colored paper or card stock
Glue your Turkey Body to the Large Round Circle
Glue your feathers on to the back of the Large Round Circle
Once all the feathers are glued on, glue your googly eyes, nose, and gobbler onto the front body
Now show off your finished Turkey!
Cute turkeys! I used something a bit similar but larger to help my kids be thankful at this time of year.

DeleteThanks for visiting, and that sounds like a great idea. Maybe writing what they are thankful for on each tail feather?
