For the turkey’s feathers, cut five long ovals–use many colors of coloring paper if you like. Using white or pale yellow paper, cut five smaller ovals (that fit inside the larger ovals).

Glue the smaller ovals on the larger ones. On each one, write: “I am thankful for ______.” For a thankful feather template to print, click here. Have the child write what they’re thankful for.
