Scraps of paper in whatever color you want.

-
Your favorite glue–stick, school, whatever works best with your kids.
How to Make a Torn Paper Turkey Craft:

Cut or have your child cut out a turkey shape.

Let the kiddos go to town tearing up the paper into tiny pieces.

Have them glue the paper pieces onto the turkey shape.
-
Glue on the googly eye.

Admire the Thanksgiving creations!
We had lots of little leftover scraps from our Thankfulness Tree that were able to use to make a bunch of torn paper turkeys. So plan ahead if you are making a bunch of projects this week and save the scraps for this cute craft!
I love this and will pin it on my Recycle! Kid’s Activities and Art board. Love your blog and happy to find it.
Thanks Susan! We love simple crafts and upcycling! Thanks for stopping by!
Very fun! I bet my kiddos would love this. And I JUST opened a new bag of googly eyes — perfect timing!
Thanks so much! Googly eyes are my almost 3 year old’s absolute favorite art material! She love stick them all over paper and then draw around them!
Oh that turkey is adorable! And it looks like it would be a lot of fun to do. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks so much Joyce! We definitely love torn paper art in our house!
I love how the torn paper looks like feathers! Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Showcase. 🙂
hi megan, i plan to use this craft in a turkey craft for kids post. i used the permission to use list in kbn. i just wanted to make sure that its also ok to use image in the collage for my pinnable image? Take care, jaime@FSPDT
Of course! I emailed you too. Thanks so much!!!
If you trace their hands to use as the turkey shape (or even your own if you want it bigger), you won’t have to worry about being able to make a turkey shape!
Great idea!
