Turkey Finger Puppet

By Noreen 29 Comments

Create a fun turkey finger puppet for kids.

Crafty Journal - Turkey Finger Puppet

They can put their fingers through the holes for the turkey’s legs and have fun making him dance around.

Crafty Journal - Turkey Finger Puppet

Materials.

Brown Craft Foam

Silk Fall Leaves

Wiggly Eyes

Bit of Red and Orange Craft Foam

Glue

Pencil

Scissors

Paper for Pattern

How to Make a Turkey Finger Puppet.

1. Make a paper pattern for the turkey body.  Draw 2 holes near the bottom of the body big enough for fingers to fit through.

Crafty Journal - Turkey Finger Puppet

Cut it out

2. Trace the turkey body onto the brown craft foam.  Trace the leg holes, too.

Crafty Journal - Turkey Finger Puppet

Cut the turkey out. Cut out the leg holes.

3. Draw a beak on the orange craft foam. Cut it out.

4. Draw a wattle on the red craft foam. Cut it out.

5. Glue the eyes, beak and wattle onto the turkey.

6. Make the feathers.

Lay 2 leaves as shown in a V shape, with the bottom part overlapping each other. Glue them together where they touch.

Crafty Journal - Turkey Finger Puppet

Lay one leaf in the middle of the leaf V, and glue it where it overlaps the other 2 leaves.

Crafty Journal - Turkey Finger Puppet

Lay 2 more leaves on either side of the center leaf, and glue them where they overlap.

7. Glue the turkey body onto the leaves as shown, with the big part of the body slightly hanging lower than the leaves. And with the top leaf above the turkey’s head.

8. Once the glue is dry, or hard, or cool, the turkey is ready to be played with.
