Directions
Start by downloading and printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this wizard turkey to life!
Grab the turkey’s head and help your child glue the two big eyes onto the center of the face.
Take the white fluffy beard shape and glue it just below the eyes, rounding off the bottom of the face.
The snood is the red squiggly shape. Take it and glue it on one side of the top of the turkey’s beard.
Now glue the yellow beak on top of the snood, right in the center.
Take the wizard hat and glue it above the eyes.
Now grab the big robe piece and glue the head onto the top center of it. Now our turkey looks ready to teach at Wizard School!
Glue the brown wings on each side of the robe. These go behind the robe; just have them peek out from the sides like arms in sleeves.
Then, grab the two yellow feet and glue them at the back and bottom of the robe.
Take the purple feather piece and glue it behind the body, lining it up so the feathers fan out behind the robe. This part makes your turkey extra magical!
Now it’s time to bring the magic to life! Hand over the glitter star stickers (or paper stars) and let your child decorate the robe and hat however they like.
Isn’t this the cutest little wizard turkey you’ve ever seen? It’s such a magical way to celebrate Thanksgiving with a creative twist!
