Paper Bag
Turkey
Thanksgiving
Crafts for Kids
This cute paper bag
turkey craft that is made out of a paper lunch bag.
It is an easy craft for kids, including
preschool children who will enjoy painting the stripes on the turkey.
All that is needed is two brown paper
lunch bags. This turkey craft will
make a cute Thanksgiving day centerpiece, or it can be used as goodie
bag. The body of the turkey can be
filled with candy or small toys to keep the young ones amused at the
Thanksgiving day table.
Things Needed:
- Two lunch size paper bags
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Tape
- Tissue paper or crumpled newspaper
- Black marker or crayon
- Paints and paintbrush
- Begin the paper
bag turkey by folding the bottom part of the bag up.
Then, turn the bag over.
 
- Next, begin to
make accordion folds (about ¾ of an inch wide or so) up the
rest of the bag, as shown. You can
trim off any excess at the top with scissors.
 
- Unfold the bag,
and make a vertical cut with the scissors from the top of the bag, in
the center, down about 3 inches.
- Paint each
stripe of the accordion folds a different autumn color (such as red,
orange, yellow, brown, green). Make
sure the paint the back of the bag too. Allow
this to dry.
 
- Stuff the bottom
of the bag with a bit of tissue paper or crumpled newspaper.
Or, fill it with small toys or
goodies. Staple the bottom of the
bag with two staples on each side.
- Bring the top
edges of the bag together upon themselves, and tape this together.
 
- Shape the turkey
tail as shown. Taping the top edges
together forms a triangle shape. Bring
this out pointing forward, and then make the folds as appropriate to
fan out the tail.
- The next step is
to draw a turkey head on another paper lunch bag, and cut out the shape.
By cutting through the entire lunch
bag you will have two identical shapes.
- Glue the two
sides of the head together, but first sandwich in a little gizzard
(either cut from red paper or colored from the lunch bag paper).
Also allow two tabs to hang free
near the base of the neck, for gluing on to the body. Allow to dry.
 
- Glue on the head
to the body by attaching the two tabs to the base of the lunch bag
turkey body.
