Construction Paper Turkey

All you need to make this super cute turkey craft for preschoolers are the following materials:

• dessert-sized paper plate
• construction paper
• glue
• scissors
• clothespin
• googly eyes

It doesn’t matter what color the small paper plate is because it will be covered with paper pieces. Feel free to use any colors you’d like for the construction paper pieces. We used traditional Fall colors, but it would also be fun to make a colorful turkey!

T is for Turkey

Before starting this craft with the kids, I cut out a small triangle-shaped beak, and a long, wiggly oval shape for the gobbler/wattle. Older kids may be able to cut these out on their own.

• First, glue the gobbler/wattle onto the top of the clothespin (the part that opens), as shown.
• Glue the triangular beak on top of the wattle.
• Finally, glue the eyes above the beak and wattle. This completes the turkey’s body.

Next, we made the torn-paper pieces together. An easy way to do this is to tear strips in the paper first, and then tear off bits from each strip. After tearing bits of paper, it’s time to put your turkey together!

Turkey Craft for Toddlers

Now it’s time to glue the torn paper pieces onto the turkey to make feathers.

Spread glue all around the top of the paper plate, and then glue the paper pieces onto the plate, overlapping the pieces as you glue them down. Sometimes it helps to dip the pieces into the glue to help them stick onto the plate.

Turkey Crafts for Kids

After the surface of the plate is covered in the torn-paper pieces, complete your turkey by simply opening the clothespin and attaching it onto the plate. You can use more glue to make it more secure if you’d like.

Now your turkey is complete! This cute little turkey makes a great Thanksgiving decoration and even stands on it’s own.
