Supplies

Directions

Below are the directions on how to make each of the four characters we created! We can’t wait to see what your kids come up with as well!

Among Us Turkey Disguise

We all know Among Us is super popular with the kids (we even created an Among Us paper bag puppet)! Turning your turkey into an Among Us character is very easy. First, choose your skin color. We went with red.

Print out the whole turkey with no facial features on the paper, then cut it out. Print out the character template page and cut out the Among Us printables.

Use a light blue marker to fill in the mask. Glue this to the middle of the turkey’s face. Use a yellow marker to draw on the details for the party hat, then glue the party hat to the top of the head.

Pete The Cat Turkey Disguise

We love Pete the Cat, and with the newest book, He’s a character that’s top of mind now!

To begin creating your Pete turkey, print out the whole turkey without a face template onto white cardstock. Use crayons or markers to color the feathers yellow (like Pete’s shirt). Use a blue marker to color in the turkey’s body.

Color Pete’s eyes with a yellow-orange marker, then glue the eyes in the middle of the head. Next, color Pete’s ears and glue them to the top of the turkey head.

Glue Pete’s nose in the middle of the head, just below the eyes. Finish by coloring in the buttons and then gluing them in the middle of the body.

Now you’re done! Isn’t it so silly?!

Pikachu Turkey Disguise

Another character that we love is Pikachu! Pokemon has been around forever, so we knew we had to create one for all the fans.

Begin by printing the whole turkey without a face on a yellow piece of cardstock. Use a black marker to draw black tips at the end of the feathers so it looks like Pikachu’s ears.

Take the eyes and glue them to the middle of the head, then glue the cheeks below and slightly outside the eyes.

Use your black marker to draw on a tiny nose and mouth. Finish by cutting out the turkey, and then you’re all done!
