90+ Fun Turkey Activities For Kids

I don’t know what it is about turkeys, but kids seem to think they’re hilarious. Maybe it’s their big, round bodies or those ridiculous little faces. Either way, they’re always fun to make! And with these fun turkey activities for kids, there are SO many ways to enjoy the Thanksgiving season.

And let’s be real, November can be a busy month. Between school activities and getting ready for Thanksgiving, having a few easy projects ready to go can make life a lot easier. Especially when the kids are asking what they can do for the tenth time that day!

Of course, not every activity needs to involve scissors and glue. We’ve included printable worksheets and games, too, because sometimes you just need an activity that doesn’t leave little paper scraps all over the table. You know what I mean?

Here at Simple Everyday Mom, we love sharing activities that are easy for parents and teachers to use without a ton of prep. These Thanksgiving ideas are a fun way to enjoy the weeks leading up to the holiday!

These ideas are great for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and early elementary kids. They’ll get to practice fine motor skills, work on early learning concepts, and make some pretty funny-looking turkeys along the way. And honestly, the ones with crooked feathers and goofy eyes might just be my favorites.

Whether you’re planning a Thanksgiving classroom celebration or looking for something to do at home, these turkey ideas are a fun way to make November a little more memorable. Plus, it’s hard not to smile when a kid proudly shows you a turkey that looks absolutely nothing like a turkey!

Disguise The Turkey Ideas

These turkey disguise project ideas are a fun and creative twist on the classic Thanksgiving activity where kids help “save the turkey” by disguising it so it doesn’t get eaten for dinner.

Using paper templates, children can turn their birds into all sorts of imaginative characters from a unicorn, Santa, and popcorn bucket to pirates, pilgrims, and even bright rainbow or flamingo versions.

Each disguise encourages kids to think outside the box, use their fine motor skills, and enjoy a silly, seasonal craft. They’re perfect for classrooms, homeschool projects, or at-home family fun, and the disguises make for adorable keepsakes to remember each child’s creativity year after year.
