You can make this Thankful Turkey craft with our turkey feather templates or you can draw your own turkey feathers.

Another option is you can add craft feathers to the back of the paper roll too. See our paper bag turkey craft using craft feathers.

We cut out 5 feathers, but you can add more if you would like!

We used red, yellow and orange cardstock.

3. Have kids write things they are grateful for on each feather using a black marker.

4. Add the googly eyes onto the paper roll using glue.

Then cut out a small triangular beak and feet using the orange cardstock. To make the beak, fold over a piece of paper and cut out a triangle.

Attach the beak and the feet to the painted toilet paper roll.

5. Attach the feathers to the back of the toilet paper roll turkey.

You can keep adding thankful turkey feathers onto your turkey during the Thanksgiving season. This is a great keepsake craft to pull out every year to remember the things that you were thankful for!

This turkey would also look great on a Thanksgiving table as décor.
