12 Fun Disguise a Turkey Printable Templates

We had so much fun with the disguise a turkey printable and I can’t wait to share it with you! This printable comes with both a blank turkey template and pre-made turkey disguise templates that are sized to fit right over top.

I may be bias, but I love the pre-made templates as it can really help to get those creative juices flowing. The templates are also great for those children that may not have many embellishments at home – as they can still feel like their turkey is fully “disguised”.

Here are a few examples of the disguised turkeys, using the pre-made templates:

As you can see, most of the items used with these turkey disguises are not super elaborate. But, they all turned out adorable, in their own unique ways.

Item List for the Disguise a Turkey Printable

If you are doing this project in class or working on it at home with your kids, there are a few things I would recommend having on hand. Of course, the first thing you will need is the disguise a turkey printable itself.

• Pipe Cleaners
• Cotton swabs or cotton balls
• Stickers
• Glitter
• Feathers

• Felt or Fabric

Turkey Disguise Template

There are 12 templates for kids to choose from for the disguise a turkey project. They can also choose to use the blank template, if they would like to disguise the turkey, from scratch.

The 12 disguise a turkey templates include: pig, pineapple, mermaid, human, firefighter, elephant, doctor, cow, chef, bunny, bee and astronaut

In addition to the templates, you will also receive a letter explaining why the turkey is going into disguise. And new for this year, I have added a sign-up sheet.

You can use this sign-up sheet with your kids to allow them to choose the disguise they would like. It’s a great way to let you know how many of each disguise to print out. If the kids would rather use the blank template, they would simply not add their name to the sign-up sheet.
