Here are my favorite Disguise a Turkey Ideas for your Disguise a Turkey project this year! Plus, find free project printables to help you get started below!
Every year, at least one of my kids participate in the Disguise a Turkey activity for a school project.
One year, my daughter completed this Fancy Nancy Disguise a Turkey. My other daughter created a dog and I’m sure we’ve completed a few others along the way, including a super hero for my son’s project! (I wish I would have taken pictures of them!)
The Disguise a Turkey project is a fun project that you can do at home or at school! You can get as creative as you’d like with your turkey. The ages for this activity are best for kids from preschool through 5th grade.
How to Disguise a Turkey
I recently learned that the idea for disguising turkeys comes from this book, Turkey Trouble.
Turkey is in trouble. Bad trouble. The kind of trouble where it’s almost Thanksgiving . . . and you’re the main course. But Turkey has an idea–what if he doesn’t look like a turkey? What if he looks like another animal instead? After many hilarious attempts, Turkey comes up with the perfect disguise to make this Thanksgiving the best ever!
Watch the read aloud here:
The simple idea is that the turkey doesn’t want to be eaten at Thanksgiving, so it’s your child’s job to use items around your home to dress up the turkey so that the turkey won’t be found!
The turkeys I’ve seen over the years at my child’s schools are super adorable and creative.
Below, I’ve listed the best Disguise a Turkey Ideas I’ve found to share with you to give you ideas for your projects!
