Not every turkey here wants to be dinner. One hides in a pizza costume, one moos in a cow suit, and three sneak under the fence with a map. The wild ones sleep up in an oak and fly low over the meadow.
Some pages are for learning: count the feathers, name the shapes, or write what you are thankful for. Print a PDF or color online.
Coloring is the start. Pick one mission and the page becomes yours.
1Give the pizza, cow or unicorn turkey one more piece of disguise, like a mustache, a cape or a fake name tag.
2Write one thing you are thankful for inside every empty feather of the thankful turkey.
3Draw the door the giant key opens, and who is waiting on the other side.
4Finish the great escape story on the back of the page: where does the map lead the three turkeys?
5Cut out the bookmarks and the round stickers, then tuck a bookmark into the book you are reading now.
Ideas for Coloring Turkey
Marker fill + pencil shading for feathersFill each feather with a light marker, then add a few pencil strokes in a darker shade along the quill line.
What if the tail were cool colors?Try teal, blue and violet feathers on the round turkey and keep the body a warm brown.
Crayon resist for snowDraw extra snowflakes in white crayon on the snowy page, brush watercolor over the sky, and the flakes show through.
Costume firstOn the disguise pages, color the costume before the turkey, so the disguise is what you notice first.
Real feathers shineA wild turkey's feathers flash bronze, green and copper in the sun; a metallic gel pen on the detailed portraits catches that shine.
Coloring onlineOpen a page in the online coloring tool, tap the tail feathers to fill them one by one, then switch to the brush for the eyes and the wattle.
Frequently Asked Questions
