First, encourage your child to make the turkey by gluing the eyes in the middle of the head.

Glue the beak in between and slightly below the eyes.

Next, help your child to glue the snood on one side of the beak.

Create the popcorn box by gluing the 3 white stripes on the red box and then glue the top of the popcorn box to the top.

Now, glue a couple of popcorn pieces to the back and top of the popcorn box. Place the turkey body and glue it to the middle of the popcorn feathers.

Glue the popcorn box to the bottom part of the turkey’s body so it’s just below the beak.

Finally, guide your child to take the popcorn pieces and glue them all along the feathers. Optionally, you can use a light orange marker to draw the pieces on instead or even glue real popcorn on the feathers.

That’s it! Isn’t this such a cute Thanksgiving craft for kids?!

Thanksgiving Ideas For Kids

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to teach kids about the value of gratitude. But it can be tough to keep little ones entertained during all the cooking and preparation.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of fun, hands-on crafts, activities, books, and more for kids to do to celebrate Thanksgiving.

These activities will not only keep them busy but also get them thinking about all the things they’re thankful for!

Kids’ Books About Thanksgiving

There are so many reasons why reading to your child is good for them. It helps to develop their vocabulary and understanding of grammar, encourages them to use their imagination, and it fosters a love of learning.

Reading also helps children to make connections between the world around them and the stories they hear. As they listen to you read, they begin to see how the book’s characters feel and how they might react in similar situations.

Start the celebrations with some fun Thanksgiving books:
