We really enjoy interactive crafts that kids can play with, so we’ve created this WALKING TURKEY PUPPET CRAFT that is so much fun! Turkey crafts are great for autumn, Thanksgiving or Christmas and this one is sure to inspire lots of imaginative play, story telling and giggles.

These fun turkeys are nice and chunky for little hands and it’s really easy to bring them to life. To make them walk you simply hold the popsicle stick handle and twist your wrist from side to side. They are so characterful!

Our turkey puppets are really easy to make with the printable template which comes in black and white that kids can decorate for themselves and also ready coloured. There’s even a choice of different tail and colour designs too.
