Cartoon Turkey with Fanned Tail Feathers in a Sunny Field

A friendly cartoon turkey stands in a grassy field with its big tail fanned out behind it. The turkey looks back over its shoulder with wide eyes and a small smile, and it has a pointed beak and a wattle hanging down. The tail has a scalloped outer edge, a thick dark band, and inner feathers with leaf-like vein lines. Layered feathers cover the body and wing, and the feet have long toes with claws. In the background there is a round sun with pointy rays, two flat clouds, a few bushes, a rolling hill line, and small tufts of grass along the bottom. Kids can use warm browns, reds, and golds for the tail feathers, then pick a different color for each row so the pattern really shows. It also works well for a Thanksgiving week activity where children name the colors they used and count the feather sections in the fan.
