Thanksgiving Turkey in a Buckled Pilgrim Hat, Facing Left

A turkey stands in side view facing left, wearing a tall pilgrim hat with a big square buckle on the band. It has closed eyes with little lashes, a small beak, and a wattle hanging down from its chin. The body is covered in short dashes for texture, and one large wing with scalloped marks and long feather tips sits low on the side. Behind it, a wide tail fans out with ten long feathers, each with a center line and angled barbs, plus rounded scalloped layers near the base. Two thin legs end in simple three-toed feet. Try using warm browns, oranges, and reds for the tail feathers, then pick a dark color for the hat and a bright metallic-looking shade for the buckle. The many little scallops make good practice for coloring neatly in small spaces. This printable page works well for a Thanksgiving table or classroom.
