Turkey Hand Puppets Craft

Tom and Tammy Turkey will take center stage in any puppet show once your child makes the Tom and Tammy Turkey Hand Puppets. Craft two adorable hand puppets from old gloves, feathers, wiggly eyes, and scraps of felt or cardstock. These turkeys look so real when they are finished that you may want to hide them on Thanksgiving Day!

  • 2 gloves (color does not matter)
  • 2 wiggly eyes
  • Small piece red cardstock
  • 1 yellow or orange pipe cleaner
  • Scissors
  • Feathers

How to make your Thanksgiving game
