Thanksgiving Turkey in Profile With Eyelet Pattern Tail

A large turkey stands in profile with its tail feathers fanned out in a big half circle behind it. The feathers are drawn in rings of different patterns, with small eyelet shapes near the top, zigzag edges, and a ruffled center. The body has scalloped rows of feathers, and the head faces right with a round eye and a wattle. Oak leaves and acorns fill the bottom corners and curl up the upper left side, and the words Happy Thanksgiving appear in outlined bubble letters at the top right. Try giving each ring of the tail its own color family, like reds, then oranges, then browns, to show how the pattern builds outward. The bubble letters are roomy enough for markers or glitter pens. This free printable is a good fit for a holiday table activity or a classroom craft day.
