Paper Turkey Hat

Get your flock into the festive spirit by rocking these bright tail feathers. Prep headbands for little ones to color in; bigger kids can assemble their own.

steps

Download and print the Turkey Hat template. Cut out from paper using scissors. Trace onto butcher paper and cut out as many as needed for your crew. (Note: Two cut-outs for each person is ideal—gluing two together makes a sturdier headband.)
Cut 12-inch half-circles out of scrapbook paper for tails, and cut notches into edges. Wrap a turkey crown around each child's head to fit, then secure with dots of glue or staples; attach a tail to each the same way.
