Popsicle Stick Turkey Craft

If you are looking for some kids craft inspiration to include in this year’s Thanksgiving plans, you are in right spot today with our latest Popsicle Stick Turkey Friend tutorial!

Popsicle Stick Turkey Friend - Kid Craft

Turkey Friend Made From Popsicle Sticks

Most people think of Thanksgiving as a time to feast on turkey and all the fixings. But for kids, it can be a long day spent sitting at the kids table while the adults chat.

So on that note, to keep the little ones busy and entertained during your Thanksgiving gatherings, why not let them make a fun turkey themed kids craft? Our craft stick turkey friend idea even has “handprint feathers” in one of the steps, so it doubles as a memorable keepsake as well!

And since many of the materials we used in this popsicle stick turkey friend idea came from things already in our craft stock pile, there really is no excuse! This means NO running around like a maniac looking for supplies because you probably have them all in your stash right now {because we all know it gets a little chaotic around the holidays and you don’t need another trip to the store for something small!}

So friends – keep scrolling because I’ll be showing YOU how simple it is to pull this turkey craft together for your thanksgiving celebrations! Your kiddos are going to love playing with their new thanksgiving puppet friend, and you’ll love how easy it was to make!
