Grab the two large eyes and glue them underneath the eyebrows.
Next, glue on the red snood just below the turkey’s eyes.
Now it’s time for the beak! Glue the small yellow piece right between the eyes, slightly covering the snood.
Time to dress your turkey! Glue the white jersey onto the shoulders, making sure the neckline sits nicely under the chin.
Next, glue the pants to the back and bottom of the jersey. This finishes the main part of the turkey’s body.
Glue the two small brown wings onto the sides of the jersey, where the sleeves are. Make sure they peek out a little from underneath the jersey sleeves.
Look for the two orange feet and glue them onto the back and bottom of the pants.
Every turkey needs fantastic feathers, even one in disguise! Take the large brown feather piece and glue it behind the turkey’s body.
To complete your turkey’s baseball look, add the baseball hat! Glue it right on top of the head, just above the eyes.
Your little one’s turkey is ready to hit the field! Don’t forget to explore our other Thanksgiving crafts for kindergarten for even more festive classroom fun.
