Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all that we have. Thanksgiving is also a time kids look forward to! It’s a time to be with family, eat delicious food, and celebrate with gratitude. And of course, there’s turkey everything!
This year, give them a fun activity with these turkey connect the dots printables! The kids will have a blast connecting all of these little turkeys together! It’s a great way for them to work on their fine motor skills as they move from dot to dot.
They’ll also be able to practice their counting, as they make sure each line goes from 1 to 20 without skipping any numbers in between!
Download and set them out on the Thanksgiving table, or do them in the classroom this November. Also, be sure to check out all of our fun turkey activities for kids!

Inside this freebie, we’ve included 3 connect the dots printables which include:
- Side view of turkey
- Turkey dinner on a platter
- Headon view of a turkey
We tried to give a little bit of variety of difficulty so they can challenge a few age groups.
On the side view turkey printable, kids will connect the head with the numbers 1-11. On the other side of the neck, kids will connect by going from letters a-i.
The turkey dinner printable is easy to follow but counts from number 1 through 20.
For the last printable, kids will draw on the turkey’s face by connecting the dots from numbers 1 through 15.
After the kids complete the pictures, have them color in the turkeys to create a unique and fun piece of art!
