Pick up some construction papers, crayons, markers, scissors, glue, and any sticks you have on hand to get started.
On a piece of paper, first trace your child’s hand, then cut out the handprint.
To color the handprint in any color your children desire, use any decorative items you may have.
Using a marker, draw the eyes, beak, and wattle of the turkey along with any other features.
After that, you can attach the handprint craft to a stick.
Participate in this activity with other family members to make different sizes of handprint turkeys!
3. Letter T for Turkey
What’s great about our seasonal paper bag puppets is that they can be used for other subjects as well.
We make certain that we not only encourage children’s creativity but also other abilities.
Use this printable turkey paper bag puppet template in your alphabet lessons to learn about the letter T!
Before you start teaching the kids the alphabet, you may have them work on their puppets first.
As your kids are creating a bird, ask them what kind it is and whether they know what letter it begins with.
To teach the phonic sound of T, emphasize the sound of the first letter in Turkey.
Aside from the turkey paper bag puppet, you can include other visual aids such as a letter T flashcard, foam letter, or cut out.
Make it more exciting and engaging by having your children draw the letter T in the air using vertical and horizontal strokes!
4. Bird Themed Puppet Show
Hosting a puppet show to teach children about birds is another entertaining approach.
Start your bird lesson with this printable turkey paper bag puppet template.
Organizing a puppet show performance using the turkey paper bag can help the children learn more about this bird.
You can start by telling a short story about a turkey or by sharing some facts about them.
As you continue the lesson on birds, let the kids take turns holding the turkey paper bag puppet.
Ask the children if they have ever seen a turkey up close or what they think of this incredible creature.
We hope that these ideas will inspire you to get started building the turkey hand puppet soon!
Children will have a day filled with turkey-themed creative activities.
These ideas will definitely bring out their creativity and productivity to the fullest.
