Thankful Turkeys

Hey friends I know what you’re thinking – whoa TWO new posts in one week? What can I say, I’m feeling awfully festive lately (and extra caffeinated!)

Today, I wanted to share a fun Thanksgiving craft that is great for kids of all ages and encourages a lesson on gratitude.. Build-Your-Own Thankful Turkeys, free printable included below!

We did this craft two ways, for one we used the free printable below and colored in one of our Thankful Turkeys and for the other we traced the printable onto cardstock for a more sturdy Thankful Turkey!

Supplies:

Cardstock, construction paper, or printer paper
Sharpie
Glue
Scissors
Crayons or colored pencils
Sharpie/Marker
Optional: googly eyes

Instructions:

Download & print the free printable here: Build Your Own Thankful Turkey Printable
Color in your turkey or trace your turkey onto cardstock or construction paper
Cut out all of the pieces of your turkey
On each feather use a sharpie or marker to write something you are thankful for (this is a great conversation starter and lesson on gratitude)
Lastly, build your turkey by gluing everything together
