Thanksgiving Turkey Activity

Build a turkey activity

I love Thanksgiving. All the family, all the food, how can you go wrong?! Kids don’t always have the patience to sit through a long meal. Sometimes they need a little extra entertainment and activities. These little Thanksgiving turkey activity bags are a fun and easy activity to entertain the kids. You can also use play doh or pom pom balls to build a turkey. I used what I had which was paper and they turned out so cute! These are also a fun nonfood Thanksgiving thing to give out to friends. The bags are easy to put together and easy for kids of different ages to make. My daughter is 5 and she had a blast with this activity.

Cute and easy just the way I like it! You can get creative with what materials to use to make your turkeys. My daughter also made a fun one with pink feathers and feet. Then the kids can play with them as puppets.
