Making a Turkey in Disguise is so much fun! Now I know I just published our Turkeys Go On Strike but this is a totally fun, totally at home do-able little coloring project that is perfect for classrooms or at home art time! I am sure you have heard of it since so many classrooms participate in how to disguise a turkey but if not, I have created you a template to play along and it’s super easy. Additionally, I asked some blogger friends of mine if they wanted to challenge their kids to create some turkeys in disguise at their own houses, so if you scroll down you can continue on and go visit all the turkeys the kids came up with.

Disguise a Turkey
Around this time of the year turkeys need to hide and its up to you to disguise them! Play along by creating a turkey that is hidden and how they are hidden is totally up to you!
Cover your turkey in popcorn, leaves, dress him up as a peacock- there are unlimited possibilities. My kids mainly chose to COLOR their turkeys, but you can also get involved with doing 3D options and using feathers, leaves, candy wrappers, cotton balls or whatever you can come up with. After all, you ARE hiding a turkey.
Turkey in Disguise Ideas
Here are our hiding turkeys! I made a butterfly and Charlotte and Phoenyx worked together to create a “Big Hero Six” (whatever that is), a Zombie turkey and a Robot Turkey! We have since printed off and colored quite a few!

Turkey in Disguise may be my 4 year old’s most favorite craft we have ever done. He has all these ideas, and we are printing out turkeys almost daily!
