Paint Splatter Turkey Craft Idea For Kids
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. You can’t go wrong with this one and every turkey craft piece will be awesome!
We are going to take THREE basic supplies and create a harvest of colors that will become a custom turkey themed piece within minutes! Kids and adults can recreate this one within a matter of minutes. Then repeat over and over again – especially past the Thanksgiving holiday!
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s get to it! You can find ALL the details you need to know {and the free printable} in the full tutorial below!

Directions:
- First fold your paper plate in half. Straight up the center.
- Unfold the paper plate and squirt some paint on one side of the plate {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 plate.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your piece of paper plate 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.
- If desired, sprinkle loose craft glitter or feathers on top of the wet paint.
- Set aside your piece for a bit.
- Now grab your printable. Cut out a turkey body for your craft.
- To finish the Puffy Paint Turkey craft – staple your cardstock body to the center of the painted piece.
- Then set aside to let it dry completely before you display it proudly for ALL to see.
