Thanksgiving Color by Letter Turkey With Ringed Tail

A turkey stands in the middle of the page with its big round tail feathers fanned out behind it. The tail is made of rings of feather shapes, with thin lines spreading out toward the edges of the frame. The turkey has a ringed eye, a curved beak, a long wattle hanging down, and a wing folded against its body. Its scaly feet rest on a rounded patch of ground at the bottom. Every section has a letter in it, and a key underneath tells you which color each letter means: B for brown, T for tan, R for red, G for green, Y for yellow, O for orange, and L for light blue. This works well as a quiet table activity for kids who are practicing letter recognition and following directions. Try matching the red and yellow letters in the inner tail rings first, then fill in the light blue background last so the turkey stands out. It is free to print, so you can make extra copies for a whole class.
