Directions
Start by downloading and printing the template. Once printed, gather your materials, grab those scissors, and let’s help the kids dress up the turkey as Santa!
First, let’s get those wings ready! Help your child cut out the turkey wings.
Now, let’s cut out the rest of the template pieces so your child can start assembling the Santa turkey!
It’s time to start assembling! Lay out the turkey feathers and all the cutout pieces. Start by gluing the turkey’s head to the top center of the feathers.
Next, let’s dress up the turkey with its iconic Santa hat. Just glue it right on top of its head.
Look for the body piece and glue it under the turkey’s head.
Grab the turkey wings and glue each one beside the turkey’s body. Our Santa Turkey is starting to look like he’s ready to deliver presents!
Lastly, find the two black boots and glue them just under the red Santa suit. Now your turkey is all dressed up and ready to escape in style!
Isn’t this Santa turkey adorable? We think your kids will have so much fun cutting, assembling, and dressing it up! Be sure to check out some of our other festive preschool Thanksgiving crafts while you’re here.
