Front-Facing Turkey With Diamond Grid Belly and Patterned Tail

A cartoon turkey faces forward with a round body, a small head on a short neck, two oval eyes, a little triangle beak and a wattle hanging below it. The belly has a scalloped patch filled with a crisscross diamond grid. Behind it, the tail fans out in layers of feathers. Some have curved rainbow-style stripes, some have scalloped edges, some have rows of oval shapes, and some have leaf-like lines running along a center vein. Two skinny legs end in striped, three-toed feet. A fun way to use this page is to pick one color for each feather pattern, so all the oval feathers match and all the striped ones match. Kids can then talk about which patterns repeat. The free printable also gives younger children plenty of small spaces to practice careful pencil control.
