Handprint Turkey

What You’ll Need: Colored construction paper (brown, red, orange, yellow, and any colors for feathers!), scissors, glue, markers or crayons. Optional: magnets

How to Make It: Trace your hand on the brown construction paper to make the turkey’s body and cut it out. Cut feathers from different colors of paper to add around the handprint. Glue them in place to make your turkey’s tail! Use orange paper to cut a beak and red for a little “wattle” (the part that hangs down). Glue on a googly eye or draw one with a marker. Add feet at the bottom, and you’ve got your handprint turkey!

Tip: Make a family of turkeys by tracing everyone’s hands! Add magnets to the back if you want to display them on the refrigerator.

 

Pinecone Turkey

What You’ll Need: A pinecone (from outside or a craft store), Googly eyes, red, yellow, and orange feathers (or construction paper), glue, small pieces of felt or paper for the beak and wattle

How to Make It: Glue the feathers on the back of the pinecone to make a tail. Add googly eyes to the front of the pinecone. Cut out a small triangle for the beak and a red teardrop shape for the wattle, and glue them below the eyes.

Tip: This makes a cute table decoration for Thanksgiving dinner!

 

Paper Plate Turkey Mask

What You’ll Need: Paper plate, paint or markers, construction paper (for feathers and beak), craft stick or a string, glue

How to Make It: Color or paint the paper plate brown, glue colorful paper feathers around the top and sides, cut out a small orange beak and a red wattle, and glue them onto the plate’s center., use a craft stick to hold it up like a mask or attach a string to wear it as a costume.

Tip: Make a few different ones and have a turkey parade!
