Turkey Crafts for Kids

Drumsticks or wings? White meat or dark meat? Whichever you like, celebrate the star of Thanksgiving dinner with these fun crafts.

Wooden Spool Turkeys

Make these adorable wooden spool turkeys for a fun Thanksgiving Day activity.

What you'll need: wooden spool, covered floral wire (12-inch piece), wire cutter, scissors, colored paper, small button, feathers, pen, clear tape

Make it: Wrap the middle section of wire twice around spool tightly. Twist together to secure. Bend wire to make a foot on each leg and trim excess with old scissors or wire cutter. Trace the end of a spool and a button about 1" apart on paper. Connect the circles to form a neck, and add points on head. Cut out shape, and draw eyes, beak, and spiral. Tape the paper body to one end of spool, then flip over and attach 3 feathers to other side, taping each one individually. Adjust feet so turkey stands.
