The hustle and bustle of the Thanksgiving might have you at your wit’s end BUT that doesn’t mean YOU have to stop the crafts with the kids this time of year.

With today’s Colorful Paint Splat Turkey kid craft idea, you won’t need elaborate supplies or a ton of time either! I’ve even included a FREE PRINTABLE TURKEY BODY TEMPLATE in today’s post to help you along the way!

I promise – it’s SUPER EASY!!!! Create a harvest of colors and a custom turkey themed piece with the kids today, by finding the full step-by-step tutorial below.

Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paint Splat Turkey Craft Supplies:

* White Cardstock
* Free Printable Turkey Body Template {download HERE}
* Color Printer
* Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle}
* Scissors
* School Glue
optional – glitter, rhinestones, feather

Directions:

* First fold a single piece of white cardstock in half.
* Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint close to the middle of the paper.
* Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your piece of paper together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your design nicely.
* Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “turkey feathers” design. Set aside.
* Now grab your printable. Cut out a turkey body for your craft.
* To finish the Puffy Paint Turkey craft – glue your cardstock body to the center of the painted piece. Then set aside to let it dry completely.
* If you like – you can also cut around the finished design to display.

You can also do this very idea with a paper plate instead! Just use a LARGE paper plate that you fold in half!
