Suncatcher Turkeys – Thanksgiving Craft Idea For Kids

Happy Monday readers! I’m so excited you landed on today’s Window Art Turkey kids craft idea!

Boy do I have a TON of kid friendly Thanksgiving crafts to share with you all but till then – this is ONE to pay close attention too. Especially if you are looking for a different way to craft up a turkey with your child, in honor of the upcoming holiday {Gobble Gobble!}

These Tissue Paper Turkey Suncatchers are just as easy as my past tutorials on Glued To My Crafts. I’ve even made a few FREE printables to go along with this craft, so all you need to do is snag the provided freebies, print them out and craft away even faster! My goal was to make it super easy for you and I hope I did just that!

So my friends… there is no need to think out designs or wonder “what the heck did I just draw?” Simply grab up your supplies and make up these stained glass inspired beauties with the full tutorial and free file below!

Happy crafting my friends and don’t forget to share pictures of your tissue paper turkey suncatcher with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
