Clothespin Leaf Turkeys


Festive Clothespin Leaf Turkeys - Kid Craft

Clothespin & Leaf Turkey Puppets

Gobble gobble! Today I’m sharing another Thanksgiving themed kid craft idea and this one is titled clothespin leaf turkeys! No real rules to it but lots of fun to create!!!

With just some simple cheap plastic leaves from my local Dollar Tree store, wood clothespins, cardstock paper and a Sharpie marker – I was able to pull together this customizable leaf turkey craft together for my lil man in no time!

It’s super easy to assemble and really inexpensive too! Although you could easily use real leaves for this craft, I felt like the plastic leaves were our best bet {especially for long-term decorations.} But don’t let me dictate your craftiness! Whichever direction you go – I hope this latest kids craft tutorial from us, inspires you!

Now flap those wings and get to it! Find ALL the details for this Thanksgiving turkey puppet craft idea, below!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your turkeys made from leaves and wood clothespins, on our Facebook page for us to admire! #gluedtomycrafts
