STEP 1: Start With The Body
Give each child a large round sticker (or a cutout) as the turkey’s body.
Begin by giving each child a large round sticker or paper cutout.
This will be the turkey’s body. Place it in the center of the page or card. Make sure it sticks well so other stickers can go around it.
Kids can choose any color they like for the body – brown, yellow, or orange all work great. This is the base for their turkey!
STEP 2: Add Feathers
Kids can choose from colorful feather stickers and place them around the body. Encourage them to mix colors and patterns.
Now it’s time to make your turkey bright and fun!
Give the kids feather stickers in many colors like red, yellow, green, blue, or purple.
They can stick the feathers around the body in a fan shape. Remind them that every turkey can look different.
Mixing colors and patterns makes each one special. There’s no wrong way to design their turkey’s feathers!
STEP 3: Add Eyes and Beak
Place the eyes near the top and add a triangle sticker (or any small shape) for the beak.
Next, help the kids bring their turkey to life!
They can place two small round stickers near the top for the eyes. Then, add a small triangle sticker right below them to make the beak.
You can use orange or yellow for the beak. Make sure the eyes are even and the beak points down. Now the turkey has a happy, friendly face!
STEP 4: Decorate and Personalize
Children can add stars, hearts, or dots to make their turkeys unique. There’s no wrong way to decorate!
Now it’s time to make each turkey one of a kind!
Give the kids extra stickers like stars, hearts, or dots. They can place them anywhere they like – on the feathers, body, or around the turkey.
Encourage them to be creative and have fun. Every turkey should look different. There’s no wrong way to decorate. Just let their imagination shine!
STEP 5: Display Their Creations
Once finished, kids can stick their turkeys on cards, notebooks, or walls to show off their work.
When the turkeys are finished, it’s time to show them off!
Kids can stick their colorful turkeys on cards, notebooks, or walls. They can even make a big display with all their friends’ turkeys together.
This makes the room bright and cheerful. Seeing their work on display helps kids feel proud and happy about what they made.
