Silly Little Turkey Classroom Craft

Items needed: Light and Dark Brown, Orange, Yellow, Red, White & Black Construction Paper, Feathers, Glue, Scissors

Now that fall has arrived, It’s time to start preparing for Thanksgiving crafts.

Why not start with this silly little turkey!

Gather all your items needed for this adorable little craft. First things first, grab your handy dandy scissors and your dark brown construction paper. You will be cutting a circle for the base of the turkey. We chose to do a medium size circle. Cut as large or as small as you want the the turkey to be.

Once you have finished cutting all of the base circles from the dark brown circles, grab your white Construction paper. This is going to be the paper used for the base of the eyes. Cut two large circles (not as large as the original circle that you used for the base of the turkey.) Just big enough that the small black circles can fit in the center of the base of the eye on the following step.

Using your light brown construction paper cut multiple strips to be crisscrossed and glued to the top of the turkey.

Now grab the black construction paper and cut two quarter size circles. These are the center of the eyes.

With the yellow construction paper cut a Medium size triangle. Large enough to cover most of the middle of the turkey, but smaller than the two eyes put next to one another.

Using the red construction paper, cut a bean shape. This is to be the turkeys wattle.

Using the orange paper cut two skinny strips to represent the turkeys legs.

Once you have all the pieces of the turkey cut out, lay them on the children’s desks  along with five colorful feathers and their glue. Then watch your silly little turkeys smile and laugh as they enjoy decorating their very own silly little turkeys!
