These turkey in disguise character crafts for kids bring 14 different characters to one very cheeky turkey. Print the set, colour each disguise, then cut out the pieces and dress the turkey as a doctor, a cowboy, a mermaid and eleven more favourite characters. It is a simple Thanksgiving craft for home or the classroom, and every design is free to print in A4 or US Letter, with no sign-up.
Each page has one turkey and a matching set of clothes and accessories, so children can talk about jobs, uniforms and the people who help us while they colour and cut. The doctor wears a white coat and a head mirror, the cowboy rides in with a hat and a star-spangled vest, and the deep sea diver brings a very serious helmet. Little ones can keep it simple with crayons, while older children can add glitter, stickers and their own details.
Please note: these are cut-out craft templates, published as they are. On some pages the artwork runs right to the page edges, so trim carefully, and one page (the gardener) is a photograph of a printed page rather than a clean digital template. It still prints and cuts just the same.
