To make your own turkey, just print the activity page, colour in the pieces, cut them out, and glue them together to create your very own cute paper turkeys.
My little boy and I tested these out with me on the weekend. We had so much fun making them. It's a great activity to do with younger kids.
You can add your own twist by colouring the turkey’s feathers in bright autumn colours or experimenting with fun patterns and different colour combinations. Why not add some googly eyes or extra decorations to give your turkey its own personality?

Optional: googly eyes, stickers, glitter or coloured paper for decorating
I recommend using white cardstock if you want a sturdier finished craft, especially if the turkeys will be used as decorations. Regular printer paper works well too, particularly for younger children who might find thinner paper easier to cut.
How to Use Your Free Printable Turkey Craft Template
1. Download your free printable turkey craft template.
2. Print the template onto white cardstock or regular printer paper.
3. Use crayons, markers or colouring pencils to decorate the turkey's body, wings and feathers.
4. Carefully cut around each piece of the turkey template. Younger children may need a little help with this step, especially around the smaller shapes.
5. Arrange the pieces to create your turkey, placing the feathers behind the body and adding the wings, feet and other details.
6. Use a glue stick to attach the pieces.
If you like, add googly eyes, stickers or extra decorations to make your turkey even more special.
