Next, fan the feathers along the back of the turkey and glue them in place. We did them in rainbow order, but your kids can do them in any way they want!

Place the cloud along the bottom of the turkey, in the middle.

Glue the red snood in between and slightly below the eyes.

Finish up by gluing the beak on top of the snood.

Thanksgiving Ideas For Kids

For kids, Thanksgiving break is a welcome respite from homework and tests, but after a few days of sleeping in and watching TV, they can start to get stir-crazy.

If you’re looking for ways to keep your kids entertained (and hopefully learning something too) over the break, we have several ideas below to keep them engaged and excited about the holiday!

Kids’ Thanksgiving Books

Reading to your kids has many benefits. It helps them learn to read, exposes them to new vocabulary, and allows you to bond with them.

But did you know that reading out loud to your kids can also help them learn to speak? That’s right – by hearing you say the words out loud, they are better able to identify the correct pronunciation and intonation.

So, not only will reading aloud help your kids become better readers, but it will also help them become better communicators. Grab a book and start reading – your kids will be thanking you for it in no time!
