We are starting November with these adorable clothespin feathered turkey kids craft that my girls loved creating! November is a special month in our home as we celebrate our youngest daughters birthday! This year she is turning 3 and she is my Thanksgiving baby! So, you can imagine that the month of November can be a little hectic for us with all the holiday events going on. One thing that I never take away from is celebrating her! Now that she is older she loves doing crafts, so I have an entire month full of lots of arts & crafts planned for my girls!  This post may contain affiliate links.

Clothespin Feathered Turkey Kids Craft

I’ve made these in the classroom before using coffee filters but thought it would be fun to use feathers instead. Either way, these turkey crafts are perfect for fall and Thanksgiving!

Materials

  • Clothespins
  • Craft feathers
  • Tiny googly eyes
  • Red and Orange felt
  • Craft glue
  • Brown paint and paintbrush

Turkey Clothespin Craft for Thanksgiving

  • Have the kids paint their clothespin brown. I had my girls paint the front and sides, but to leave the back as is so that they wouldn’t get stuck on the drying paper. Allow to dry for a few hours or until the paint is dry.

Turkey craft for preschoolers and toddlers

  • Once your clothespins are dried enough to handle, you can add the turkey’s face. We used Elmer’s glue to add the small googly eyes, orange felt beak, and red felt wattle.

This might be a bit of a challenge for younger ones, just because the pieces are so small that they might need a bit of help with their fine motor skills. Kaidence needed help the first time, but for her second turkey, she got the hang of it.

Turkey Clothespin craft perfect for kids

  • Now it’s time to add some feathers! The easiest way we found to add the feathers without getting too messy or glued to the feathers was to lay the feathers flat, add a little bit of glue, and add the next feather piece. We layered three pieces of feathers on top of each other.
  • On the last piece of feather, we added some glue and glued our turkey clothespin to the feathers. Make sure to add enough glue, but not too much. The feathers are very thin and the glue will glue the feathers to your table or sheet of paper.

Fine Motor Skills with Feathered Turkey Craft

  • Allow to dry overnight to make sure nothing falls off and that’s it! Let your kiddos have a gobble of a time with their adorable Clothespin Feathered Turkey’s! 

My girls created a family portrait of us. I think this might be perfect for our Christmas cards! What do you think?
