How to make a toilet paper roll turkey

This tp roll turkey is an easy, fun Thanksgiving day craft to make with the kids!

Step 1- Cut the tp roll in half

First, cut your toilet paper tube in half with a pair of scissors.

Step 2- Make the turkey’s head

Then, grab an empty cereal box and it’s time to make the turkey’s head, gobble, and feathers! The turkey’s head is really easy, doodle on an oval with a squiggle line gobble and a giant black beak. Cut it out and Bam! Done.

Step 3- Make eyes

Use the hole punch to punch 2 white eyes and black pupils with a marker. Glue the eyes to the head.

Step 4- Make feathers

Now, for the feathers. Use your pencil to draw a 4in diameter circle. Then draw a line through the center of it, you only need a semi circle! Now, zig zag the top part of your circle and add black lines to represent feathers. To attach the feathers to the body, set the feathers on the turkey body and use a pencil to mark where the slits will be cut so that the feathers can easily slid into the tp tube.

Attach the feathers to the turkey body and give your little turkey some webbed feet! Obviously, this would be a fun craft for Thanksgiving too! Don’t mind that I’m posting about it at the end of March.
