DIY Cork Turkey Kids Craft
Friendly Fowl
Thanksgiving is a good time to take out your craft stash and get involved in some fun creative projects. Our DIY cork turkey is the ideal afternoon craft for grown-ups and little ones to make at this time of year. Fun and simple to make, this project had us giggling all afternoon in the studio - he's just so goofy and cute! Why not have the materials laid out on a low table for the kiddos during your family Thanksgiving celebration? You can pre cut the felt pieces so they can select their own feather colors and add the tail, beak and snood with craft glue. Using black ball mini push pins the eyes are the finishing touch. We found all of our materials, the corks, felt, pins and glue at our local craft store. The pattern for the felt pieces can be downloaded using the button at the end of the post and includes three sized for small, medium and large corks. Enjoy! ~ Lia

This kid-friendly project transforms everyday materials into adorable little Thanksgiving moments. We love how this craft uses up those leftover corks you've been saving (let's be honest, we all have a drawer full of them!). It's a fantastic way to introduce the concept of recycling and repurposing to your kids while creating something truly special for your home.
These DIY Cork Turkey Kids Craft come together in just four easy steps. First, gather your supplies and download the turkey pattern provided in this post. Trim the felt pieces, glue the faces together, and attach the colorful tail feathers onto the cork. With just a few snips and dabs of glue, you'll have your own flock of adorable tabletop turkeys!
As you and your kiddos work together to bring a little gobble gobble goodness to your family gathering, remember this DIY Cork Turkey Kids Craft is all about quality time and letting your imaginations soar. In fact, the finished product is just as much fun to play with as it is to display! Once you're finished, imagine your Thanksgiving table setting, with each little guest having their very own turkey companion. Who wouldn't be thankful for that?
So grab your little ones, download our template, and prepare to make some Thanksgiving magic! Remember, there's no right or wrong way to be creative, so encourage your kids to pick their favorite felt colors and let their personalities shine through in their DIY Cork Turkey Kids Craft. Once you're done, share your adorable turkeys with us on social media using the hashtag #MadeWithLia or upload your pics in our crafters' community.

Back to the TopCan you please update and provide svg files for children’s crafts. Finger turkey puppet and cork owl and turkey crafts.
Thank you,
Jill
Hi Jill! We’re updating our older projects with SVG files as requests come in and time permits, we’ll make sure to get this one added to our list!
Thank you for your patience with us during the transition with SVG’s. Please let us know if you have questions and we would be happy to help!
Thank you, greatly appreciated! It would be so helpful and love cutting felt with the Cricut Maker!!!
The SVG is there now 🙂
I’m in love with all your new felt projects!!! Can you tell me what kind of felt you use? Is it the individual sheets you are using or are you buying by the yard? If by the yard, what blend of felt are you using?
Thanks!
We usually purchase both by sheets and by the yard. Always either 100% wool or a wool blend. Happy crafting!
