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. •

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.
