HOW TO DRAW & PAINT A TURKEY •

On a piece of white paper, trace cup or container top with a black oil pastel or crayon.

•

Draw two dots for eyes and an upside down triangle for a beak.

•

Place oil pastel next to the head and draw a BIG, FAT belly. Go all the way around to the

other side of the head.

•

Draw a WIGGLY neck under the head.

•

Add two legs by drawing two straight lines connected by claws. Repeat for second leg…

or third as some Kinders did.

•

For the feathers, draw a straight line above the head and draw more lines all the way the

sides of body and head. These are the middle lines of the feathers.

•

Draw 2 curved lines around each feather line. Repeat for all feathers.

•

With colored oil pastels, add lines, dots and patterns to the tail feathers and even to the

•

Painting the turkey is easy peasy with liquid watercolor paints. I place mine in baby food

body. jars and give each child a brush.

•

Paint each area or shape with a color of paint. Some children used one color for the entire

turkey and others painted rainbows. I love them all.

•

When the children finished painting, add some white glue to the top of the head and

allow each child to place a craft feather on the head. This is just for fun but a very good motivator to finish painting.
