Turn your Thanksgiving turkey into a busy worker with these turkey in disguise worker crafts for kids. This free set includes 9 printable templates, so children can dress a friendly turkey as a baker, a dentist, a plumber, an electrician, a beekeeper, a mechanic, a barber, a hairdresser or a fisherman. Print the pages, cut out the pieces, and help your turkey hide in plain sight at the bakery, the clinic or the workshop.
Each design is simple to make, with bold outlines, large pieces and space for children to colour, cut and glue. The activities suit a classroom, a library table or a quiet afternoon at home, and they work well for Thanksgiving week, a jobs and community helpers topic or a rainy-day craft session. Children can mix the pieces, add their own colours and give each turkey a name, a job and a favourite tool, so no two disguises need to look the same.
These are cut-out craft templates, and some artwork runs to the page edges, so a little trimming may be needed around the borders. They are published as they are, ready to print and make.

How to Print
Print at 100% on A4 (210 × 297 mm) or US Letter (8.5 x 11 in), with 0.5-inch margins. Use plain paper or light card for sturdier pieces, and print in black and white so children can colour each design.
- Colour the turkey and job pieces before cutting, if you like.
- Cut along the dashed lines. Children may need help with small parts.
- Glue the pieces onto the turkey to complete its disguise.
- Display the finished turkey or glue it onto a card to share.
Creative Ways to Use These Crafts
- In the classroom: let each child pick a job, build the disguise, then write or tell a short story about a day in that turkey’s working life, from kneading dough to catching fish.
- For a Thanksgiving display: pin the finished turkeys on a bulletin board as a community helpers parade, with a label naming each job beneath its turkey.
- At home: set the printed turkeys beside the Thanksgiving table and let guests vote for the funniest disguise, or turn the set into a guessing game about each job.
