Boy in Feather Headband Showing a Thanksgiving Handprint Turkey
Coloring guide
A young boy with short, tousled hair gives a big grin as he holds up a handprint turkey craft in both hands. His headband has three large feathers, each with a center line and little notches along the edges, and he wears a long-sleeved top with a rounded collar. The turkey is made from a traced hand, so the five fingers fan out as tail feathers, and it has a small round head, an eye, a beak, a wattle and two skinny legs with tiny feet. The background is blank, which leaves lots of white space. Oranges, reds and yellows suit the tail, and green or blue stripes would make his shirt pop. Big shapes and bold outlines work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids, and it pairs nicely with a classroom handprint craft. It's free to print for a class project or a weekend craft.

- 3Fill the shirt, both sleeves and the elbows with sky blue, leaving the neck area for the collar.
- 4Color the two side feathers leaf green and the center feather bright red, then add burnt orange to the feather bases and the headband ends.
- 5Finish the small details: coral pink for the tongue, dark red at the mouth corners, golden yellow for the beak, bright red for the wattle, orange for the turkey's feet, and olive green along the right headband edge.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes of the same color in the shirt and hair to make the drawing feel more textured.
