How to Make a Turkey in Disguise Ballerina
1. Color in the turkeys.
Print off the free disguise a turkey template.
Use crayons, colored pencils, markers, or paint to color in the turkey’s head and feathers. We made the turkeys’ feathers pink and purple to match the paper bodysuits.
2. Cut out all the paper pieces.
Print and cut out the printable templates, found at the bottom of the post.
Trace the templates onto colored paper and cut out. Kids can also color in the templates and you can glue them on.
3. Make the ballet shoes.
Glue the 2 shoes down onto the paper so that they cover the turkey’s feet.
Next, glue the legs on top of the shoes.
4. Glue the bodysuit and hair on.
Glue the pink bodysuit over the turkey’s body.
Then, glue the hair onto the turkey’s head.
5. Make the tutu.
Cut the ruffled edge off of a muffin paper and discard the center circle.
Place the ruffle onto the bodysuit to look like a tutu and use scissors to trim any excess away.
Apply white glue to the inner edge of the ruffle and glue in place on the bodysuit. Set aside to dry completely.
Repeat for more turkeys, and make them in whatever color you’d like!
Your turkey now has an amazing ballerina disguise for Thanksgiving!
