What You’ll Need To Make This Grateful Turkey Craft

Toilet Paper Rolls (one for each kid)
Scissors
Colored Paper (Yellow, Brown, Red, Orange, and Green)
Glue
Markers
Googly Eyes (optional)

How to Make Grateful Turkey Craft

Cut the colored paper into 5 feather shapes (see pictures below).
Add googly eyes to roll or color the eyes with a marker on the toilet paper roll. You can also color a beak on the roll or cut out a little yellow triangle for a beak and glue it onto the roll.
Talk with the child about what it means to be grateful. Ask the child to name what they are thankful for this year. Then write down 5 things they are grateful for on each feather and glue them to toilet paper in a fan shape.
Let them dry and find a place in your home to show them off.

Final Thoughts

You see what I’m talking about when I say it’s fun and easy. You can make these with a bunch of children or you can have your child make a few. Also, You can give them to their grandparents as a little gift. I love hearing who and what my kids are thankful for. They love being silly so I allow one or two silly responses on them. It’s really awesome to have them saved up and see how their responses change from year to year.

I hope you enjoy this craft and make it with your family. You can also make your own with the children. Let me know in the comments below what you think. You can also tell me what you are grateful for this Thanksgiving season. I love hearing from all of you.
