6 Turkey Crafts for Kids to Make
Put some of the beach rocks you collected this summer to good use by making these cute little Turkey Rocks. You can use them as paper weights or as place settings at your Thanksgiving table.
These “Thankful Turkeys” are fun and easy to make, and such a colourful and creative way to get kids thinking about all the things they’re thankful for.
I think this paper plate turkey is my favourite Thanksgiving craft this season. I just love a paper plate craft, and the colourful process for making the feathers for these guys is just so fun.
When you uncork your wine before the Thanksgiving feast, let your kids make this sweet little wine cork turkey craft while you put the finishing touches on the real turkey.
Everyone loves a foot print craft, right? And everyone loves blowing bubbles! This fun turkey craft incorporates both! Kids can trace their feet, and turn them into turkeys. Then they can blow some colourful bubbles to decorate their turkey’s feathers with.
And lastly, here’s one of my all-time favourite Thanksgiving crafts for toddlers and preschoolers. Grab a cardboard roll and some paint chip samples, and whip up a few of these simple turkey decorations to display on your Thanksgiving table.
Happy Thanksgiving!
