Looking for fun and frugal Thanksgiving-themed activities? Something other than eating, that is? 
Look no further than these three how to disguise a turkey templates!
Outside of eating and spending time with loved ones, Thanksgiving doesn’t really have any traditional activities. (Not that I’m knocking those two things … I love enjoying yummy holiday foods while hanging with the family!) Think about it; Halloween has carving jack-o-lanterns, Easter has coloring and finding eggs, and Christmas has making cookies. Maybe it’s time to come up with something for turkey day, and I think a disguise a turkey activity could fit the bill!
How to disguise a turkey works like this—you download a disassembled disguise a turkey printable, decorate it, cut out the pieces, and then assemble it. You can then strategically place your disguised turkey in fun places around the home for your kid or guests to spot. It’s a little like the whole elf on the shelf concept, but instead of coming to keep an eye on your kid, this turkey is just trying to escape the dinner table! 
You can either surprise your kid with these disguise a turkey templates, already complete and ready for them to find, or entertain those little hands by enlisting their help. If you opt for safety scissors and a glue stick, this disguise a turkey activity only needs a moderate level of supervision. (Depending on your kid’s age, of course.)
Below you’ll find three frugal (not free) printable disguise a turkey printables—a police officer, snowman, and Santa. However, if you don’t like those disguises you could download these free turkey printable templates and challenge your kid to create his or her own disguise. For example, add a pair of glasses, color on a fake mustache, or something even wilder! (With this option, you also wouldn’t need scissors or glue, if you’re pressed for time.)
