Gobble, Gobble!  Here is a fun Thanksgiving Turkey craft for kids that fits in perfectly with Thanksgiving and Autumn.  They look so cute and a little silly and great to hang on a window or as part of your Thanksgiving decorations. 

 

What you'll need:

• Paper plate – dinner size

How to make it:

1. Print out the turkey pattern pieces and cut the pieces out of the colored paper indicated on the pattern.

2. To assemble the turkey we will start by adding the feathers.  Apply a stream of white glue along the rim of the paper plate to about half of it.

3. Lay the feathers along the glue on the rim of the plate, and secure the ends with tape. Overlap the feathers if desired.
