Letters Turkey Paper Crafts

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun", letters practice, a Thanksgiving theme, a farm theme, a birds theme, or an animals theme.  

There are different types of turkeys you can make:  Lower Case Alphabet,  Upper Case Alphabet,  Spelling Words,  Vowels (aeiou)

Materials:

• something to colour with if using the B&W version.
• scissors
• glue, and
• paper
   
• Optional:  Stamp Glue

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice:
  • If you're letting the children make up words, print three or four copies of the alphabet page.  You can print the B&W version on different colors of paper to let the children make patterns and unique turkeys.
    
  • When doing words, you can spell anything you like (names, weekdays, etc) but I particularly like doing "turkey themed" or "thanksgiving themed" words (Thanksgiving, family, turkey, gobble, etc) after learning about turkeys then putting them up on the bulletin board to make your own themed word wall.
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
• Glue the alphabet tail pieces onto the turkey's tail.
   
• Optional:  Instead of gluing the letters onto the turkey's tail, put Stamp Glue on the back of the letter template pieces and let the children lick and stick the pieces on.

Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
  • In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
  • Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
