Clothespin Tissue Paper Thanksgiving Turkey Craft

The holiday season is going to be… different. My kids are still my number one priority when it comes to celebrating the holiday season. We will be staying at home this Thanksgiving and celebrating with just the five of us. In the meantime, I’m trying to think of fun and creative ways to keep my kids busy while we’re prepping our big Thanksgiving meal. And what better way to play than by making a Clothespin Tissue Paper Thanksgiving Turkey craft!?

What you’ll need to make a Clothespin Tissue Paper Thanksgiving Turkey

For this project you’ll need the following items:

  • Wood clothespins
  • Tissue paper – assorted colors
  • Cardstock – brown, yellow, red
  • Googly eyes, medium size
  • 2” circle punch
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick

How to put together your Clothespin Tissue Paper Thanksgiving Turkey

  • Begin by using the 2” circle punch to make a circle from the brown cardstock.
  • Adhere googly eyes.
  • Fold a piece of yellow cardstock in half and cut in a triangle for the beak. Also cut a petal shape for the snood from the red cardstock.
  • Glue the snood to the beak and glue both in place. Set aside.
  • Cut or tear 4 different colored strips of tissue paper. Red, orange, yellow, and green are good for Thanksgiving turkeys, but purple and blue are fun, too.
  • Crinkle each up a bit. You can form the feathers any number of ways, but we found to place one wrinkled strip one on top of the other in the center, forming like a tissue paper pie.
  • And fold up. But you could always just gather them up randomly, too.
  • Then clip all the tissue paper in the clothespin.
  • Glue the face to the top of the clothespin.

What age is this craft appropriate for?

This craft is appropriate for kids of all ages! My oldest is 8 and I will have him help me to cut apart the pieces of tissue paper into smallish pieces. My daughters, ages 4 and 2, will need some guidance, but there Turkey’s will turn out very age appropriate.

I definitely suggest that if you have little ones that you prep this a bit. Cut out the tissue paper ahead of time and also use the circle punch to cut through the cardstock during your prep.

Be sure to print this and save for later
