These turkey in disguise costume crafts for kids turn the classic disguise-a-turkey classroom activity into a dress-up party. Each of the 9 free printables comes with a black-and-white turkey and a set of costume pieces to cut out, colour and glue. Just print a design, cut along the dashed lines, colour the pieces and glue them onto the turkey to give it a brand-new costume disguise.

How to Print and Use
- Print the page you want on white paper or card, choosing the A4 or US Letter file to match your printer.
- Colour the turkey and the costume pieces with crayons, colouring pencils or felt-tip pens.
- Cut out the turkey and each costume piece along the dashed lines. Younger children may need a grown-up to help with the scissors.
- Glue the costume pieces onto the turkey, starting with the largest piece, such as the hat, cape or dress.
- Hold the finished turkey up and tell everyone who it is disguised as — a ballerina, a knight, a ghost, or any of the other costumes in this set.
Creative Ways to Use These Crafts
- Classroom disguise-a-turkey activity — Let each child pick a costume, then display the finished turkeys on a “Who’s That Turkey?” board.
- Thanksgiving party game — Print a set for each guest and see who finishes dressing their turkey first, or vote for the funniest costume.
- Storytelling and writing — Ask children to write a few sentences about why their turkey chose that disguise, such as a ninja turkey sneaking past the farmer.
- Dress-up day display — Use the finished turkeys as place cards at the Thanksgiving table, one costume per guest.
- Colouring calm-down corner — Keep a few printed designs ready for quiet time, rainy days or early finishers.
