Looking for a fun Thanksgiving craft for the kids? This Turkey Cone Kids’ Craft is the answer. It’s easy for the kids to do on their own, but also fun for adults to help with. You’ll love watching each turkey turn out different and unique. You can watch the tutorial on how to make the Turkey Cone Kids' Craft here!
Pull out the Easy Clean Flat Trays, and get the Sponge Paint Brush, Brown Washable Paint, and the DIY Cardboard Cones ready for the kids. I like to use little plastic cups or containers for the paint.
Let the kids paint the cones brown. One light layer is all that is needed, but have them coat the entire cone. Set aside and let dry.
Take some orange and red construction paper and cut out the beak and wattle. To cut out the beak, fold the orange paper over about 1.5″ and cut a triangle shape out. For the wattle, just free hand cut a wiggly “J” shape on the red paper.
Glue the beak and wattle on with glue dots.
Place about 5-7 Glue Dots in a row on the back of the turkey. They can be staggered and you can add more after if you need more for your turkey.
Once all the feathers are on you are done. Now you’re ready to display the Turkey Cone.
I think it is so fun to see how different each Turkey Cone can be. Set them up in a little group on a mantle or shelf to add some handmade holiday flair to any space!
