Cover the traced drawing with painter’s tape.

Using a crafter’s knife, carefully cut away the excess tape so you’re left with a painter’s tape reindeer face.

To make the nose the same colour as the background, cut the nose out as well. Leave the eyes.

Then paint! Have your little one use a paintbrush — or finger paint! — around the canvas. Use different colours or the same. Glitter paint of confetti paint is a great addition to this project!

Set the painting aside to dry completely.

Once dry, carefully peel the painter’s tape away from the canvas.

Next, outline and colour the eyes using a black paint pen or thick permanent marker.

These turkey’s are a perfect kids craft because they’re easy to make and don’t require a lot of supplies. This craft would be great for students as well as toddlers and preschoolers. We made this craft with a group of kids aged three to seven and all of them enjoyed creating their own Thanksgiving turkey.

Here’s a supply list for everything you need to make these fun little turkey’s

Wooden rounds (one big and one small)
Paint in brown, yellow, red and orange
Googly eyes
Fall leaf
Yellow felt
Hot glue gun with glue

How do you make a turkey kids craft?

Firstly, paint the wooden rounds brown, a small one for the head and a larger one for the body. While the kids are painting their turkey’s cut the yellow felt into small triangles to use as beaks.

Secondly, using the hot glue gun, glue the small wooden round onto the bigger one. You can also use crafting glue for kids to do the glueing themselves. Next glue the eyes in place and the felt beak. Finally, glue the big fall leaf to the back of the turkey body.

We hope you and the kids loved this Cute and Fun Turkey Craft Idea for Kids! If you’re looking for more Thanksgiving craft ideas check out our Paper Towel Fall Tree Kids Craft. Or check out these Fun Fall Activities for Kids by Lil Tigers.
