5 Crafting Ideas for Printable Turkey Templates
It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned crafter or looking for a fun Thanksgiving activity to pass a rainy day, our printable turkey templates are your go-to resource. Here are five crafting ideas for our turkey templates - perfect for the home or classroom:
Thankful Turkey. Personalize your turkey by writing what you're thankful for on the tail feathers - adding a personal Thanksgiving touch to your turkey creation. This can be a lovely decoration or activity for the Thanksgiving table.
Handprint Turkeys. Use a turkey template as a base, then kids can trace around their hands and fingers to create the turkey’s feathers. They can decorate the handprints however they like, with colorful markers or paint.
Turkey Puppets. Carefully cut out the turkey template and attach it to a popsicle stick with glue or tape to create an easy puppet. Kids can color the turkey or get fancy and decorate the turkey with fabric scraps, feathers, and other pretty embellishments. They can even put on a little Thanksgiving puppet show with their creations!
Turkey T-Shirt. Use our turkey template to create a fun Thanksgiving-themed T-shirt. Have kids trace the turkey shape onto a cheap t-shirt and use fabric paint to create a stylish design. They can add their own artistic touch with embellishments like sequins, felt, or fabric markers to make each shirt unique.
Turkey Wreath. First, cut out several turkey templates in different sizes. Attach the turkeys, overlapping slightly, to a circular base (like a paper plate or cardboard ring) to create a Thanksgiving wreath. Kids can decorate each turkey with unique colors and designs, and then hang the wreath on the front door.
