Help your children thank God out loud—with a 3D turkey craft they color, fill with feathers, and stand up on the table.
Children are quicker to name what they want than what they’ve been given. This free 3D turkey craft slows them down long enough to tell God thank you for what they already have.
Kids color the turkey and his feathers, then write one thing they’re thankful to God for on each feather—their family, their home, answered prayers, sunny days. The body wraps around into a base so the turkey stands up on his own, holding a sign that reads “Thank You God for…” A full-color version makes it simple to start.
By the time the feathers are full, your children have said thank you to God a dozen times over, and the turkey stays out on the table as a reminder of every one of them.
What makes this one a keeper
Feathers full of thanks — on every feather, your children name one gift they’re thanking God for
It stands up on its own — the body wraps into a base, so the turkey holds his place on the Thanksgiving table all season
Color it their own way — a full-color version for quick assembly, and a black-and-white one they can color from scratch
A conversation about God’s goodness — the “Thank You God for…” sign gives you a natural way to talk with your children about who their good gifts come from
