Turkey Hat Thanksgiving Craft Pattern

This is a popular craft I have at Little Giraffes’ Thanksgiving Teaching Ideas page. I created this pattern for the turkey’s body so you won’t have to freehand it. Keep in mind the printer paper is slightly smaller than construction paper, so you’ll need to extend the back end of the turkey the extra inch. Happy Thanksgiving!

The 2-page PDF has the steps to make a turkey hat and a turkey body pattern.
