Gather the Materials
Before you begin building your turkey craft, make sure you have all the necessary materials. You will need construction paper in brown, red, orange, and yellow, scissors, glue, and googly eyes. You might also want to gather some additional materials like feathers, glitter, or pipe cleaners to add some extra flair to your turkey.
Creating the Body and Feathers
Start by making the body of the turkey. Take a piece of brown construction paper and cut out a large oval shape. Then, cut out smaller oval shapes in different colors for the feathers. Glue the smaller ovals onto the back of the larger oval to create the turkey’s tail feathers.
Adding the Head and Beak
Next, cut out a small circle from the brown construction paper for the turkey’s head. Cut out a small triangle from the orange construction paper for the beak. Glue the beak onto the head and then glue the head onto the body of the turkey.
Adding the Eyes and Feet
Now it’s time to give your turkey some personality. Glue the googly eyes onto the head of the turkey. Cut out two small triangles from the orange construction paper for the feet. Glue the feet onto the bottom of the turkey’s body.
Decorating the Turkey
Once you have the basic shape of your turkey, it’s time to get creative with the decorations. You can add feathers to the body of the turkey, or use glitter to give it some sparkle. You can also use pipe cleaners to create legs for your turkey or add a cute little hat to its head.
Displaying Your Turkey Craft
Once you have finished decorating your turkey, it’s time to display it proudly. You can hang it on the wall, attach it to a bulletin board, or place it on a table as a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving dinner. You could also give your turkey craft as a gift to a friend or family member.

Building a turkey craft is a fun and easy way to get creative and celebrate the Thanksgiving season. With just a few simple materials and some imagination, you can create a unique and festive decoration that will bring joy to your home or office.
