Cartoon Turkey in Pilgrim Hat Peeking Out Before Pumpkins

A cartoon turkey with big round eyes and a pointed beak looks out from under a Pilgrim hat with a buckle on the band. A long wattle hangs down from its beak, and its thin neck leads to a rounded body. Behind it, five large feathers fan out, each with a center vein and smaller veins branching off. One skinny leg ends in a clawed foot at the bottom. On the left sits a tall, ribbed pumpkin with a short stem and a curly vine. The large shapes and open spaces suit crayons and markers well. Try giving each tail feather its own fall color, like red, orange, gold, and brown, and let kids add shading along the pumpkin ribs. It's also a nice prompt for talking about why Pilgrim hats and pumpkins show up at Thanksgiving. Print as many copies as you need for class or the holiday table.
