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.

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.

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