Are you looking for a cute, easy peasy and fun turkey craft? We think we’ve nailed it with this adorable POT BELLY PAPER TURKEY CRAFT!  These colourful 3D turkeys are just darling! They have a fan of brightly coloured tail feathers and a sticky out round belly that is so characterful!

There is a PRINTABLE TURKEY CRAFT TEMPLATE to make it nice and easy. The turkey’s pot belly is made from paper strips so it’s really easy to do. We think this is a delightful Thanksgiving craft for kids or Christmas craft for those of you in the UK.

This Thanksgiving Turkey Craft Template now comes with three options. There is a template you can trace around onto coloured paper, a template you can colour in and also a ready coloured template. All templates come with both US and UK paper sizes and spellings.)
