Free Printable Build a Turkey Coloring Page

This free printable Build a Turkey coloring page will be a big hit at any holiday party this year. It’s also a great activity to keep the kids entertained while you’re busy cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

Around Halloween time of this year, I took my kids to a holiday party at the gym they attends classes at. There, they had tables with games to play, a cupcake decorating station (which I made sure to make camp by) and a table with printable activities.

One of the printable activities was this fun “Make a Monster” page. The kids would first color in the monster, cut out all the pieces and then glue them together to form their very own monster.

I thought this was such a great idea! I had actually taken a picture of it with my phone to remind myself to print something like this out for a fun rainy day activity or play date.

Later that night, I of course went on Pinterest to see what I could find. There were so many versions of this activity, I was blown away! Create your own snowman, build your own ice cream cone, make your own monster and the list goes on and on.

I loved this idea so much that I decided I wanted to design my very own. I’m definitely going to be working on seasonally themed versions of this activity but for now, we are going to start with Thanksgiving! And so today I wanted to share with you this free printable build a turkey page that I designed and will definitely be using myself within the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy!
