Help your children tell God what they’re thankful for—with a turkey craft they color, write on, and wrap around a paper roll.
Thanksgiving comes and goes before most children ever say out loud what they’re thankful for. This free turkey toilet paper roll craft gives them a way to say it to God, one feather at a time.
Kids color the turkey and his feathers, then write one thing they’re thankful to God for on each one—their family, their friends, food to eat, God’s love. The turkey wraps around an empty toilet paper roll so he stands up on his own, holding a sign that reads “Thank You God for…” while the finished feathers fan out behind him. A full-color version makes it simple to start.
Once the feathers are filled in, your children have named their blessings and thanked God for every one, and the turkey stands on the table where the whole family can read them.
