13. Feathered Turkey Headbands
Get children excited for Thanksgiving dinner with these festive, wearable feathered turkey headbands. This interactive craft is perfect for holiday parties or family gatherings, encouraging children to engage in cooperative play and self-expression as they design their own festive headwear.
Cut a long strip of brown construction paper to fit around your child’s head, securing the ends with tape or staples to create a headband. Cut out a turkey head shape from brown paper and glue it to the front of the band, adding googly eyes, a yellow paper beak, and a red felt wattle. For the feathers, children can use real dyed craft feathers or cut out paper feathers, writing things they are thankful for on each feather before gluing them to the back of the headband. Children will love wearing their colorful creations during the Thanksgiving holiday.
