Thanksgiving Turkey Crafts
For Kids

We’re getting ready to celebrate thanksgiving by making a card, pencil topper, and working on a multimedia coloring page.

These turkey crafts are easy and inexpensive. Grandma and Grandpa would love to get a turkey card from the kids.

A simple coloring page can become a work of art by using crayons, torn paper, and seed beads.  Tip – Cut the picture out and use in your family scrapbook.

A cute  little turkey topper on a glittery pencil is sure to give the little ones a smile. They can use their new pencil with the turkey on top to write a note in the card. How fun is that.

This is so simple. All you have to do is print out turkey card template, cut the template out, glue onto card stock and you’re done. Of course you can make it fancier if you like.
