We love crafting with paper strips. Perfect for working on your little ones scissor skills while adding a little texture and color to your craft. A few of our favorite paper strip crafts include our adorable jeweled Christmas tree and this oh so sweet cone chick. Although I think that this sweet Thanksgiving turkey is not at the top of our list. Love it!

How to make a Paper Strip Turkey:

Print out our turkey PDF and cut out the pieces.
Cut and glue a number of brown paper strips
Cut 2 strips of Orange Ribbon (aka turkey legs) and glue them to the circle
Finally glue on the eyes, beak, snood (the red piece that hangs down from the beak) and the bright colored Feathers.

Gobble Gobble!
