DIY Thankful Turkey for Kids + Free Printable Templates

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and help our kids focus on gratitude. One of our favorite family traditions is our DIY Thankful Turkey for Kids, a fun and meaningful craft that grows with us every year!

DIY Thankful Turkey for Kids + Free Printable Templates


Instead of making a new turkey each time, we created and laminated the turkey body, head, and feet so we can reuse them. Each November, we simply make new colorful feathers and write what our children are thankful for that year. By the end of the month, our turkey is full of sweet reminders of how blessed we are.

What Is a Thankful Turkey?

A Thankful Turkey is a playful, creative way to teach kids about gratitude. Each feather represents something your child is thankful for. As the turkey fills up, you get a beautiful, visual reminder of thankfulness, and it’s so fun to see how their answers change from year to year!

This project makes a great classroom Thanksgiving craft, a home activity, or even a family gratitude display for your fridge or wall.

Free Printable Turkey & Feather Templates

To make this easy and reusable, I’ve created a free printable turkey body template and a matching feather template that you can download and use with your kids or students.

Georgia SNAP Benefits Suspended: What Families Can Do Right Now

As of November 1, Georgia families who depend on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), better known as food stamps, are facing an impossible situation. Because of the ongoing federal government shutdown, no new SNAP benefits have been loaded onto EBT cards this month.

More than 1.5 million Georgians, including over 640,000 children, are affected. The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) confirmed that while applications are still being accepted, no new funds will be distributed until federal funding resumes. That means many families are left wondering: how are we supposed to feed our kids?

And I get that feeling all too well.
