Dora's Pumpkin Turkey

To make this turkey, all you'll need is a small pumpkin, scissors, double-sided tape or pushpins, and a few minutes with your kids.

Catch Dora every day on Nick & Nick Jr.

This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

You'll need to allow extra time for glue or paint to dry.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Ages: 3-5

Materials

Small pumpkin
Dora's Pumpkin Turkey Templates
Scissors
Pushpins or double-stick tape

Directions

Step 1
Print the turkey templates and help kids cut out the head and feathers.
Step 2
With pushpins or double-stick tape, add the head to the front of your pumpkin and the feathers to the back. Choose a pumpkin with a short stem so it's less noticeable. Or, you can pick a pumpkin with a long curved stem and attach the head directly to the stem, so it forms the turkey's neck!
