Craft Idea: Turkey Bookmarks

If you're looking for a last minute craft idea to keep the kids occupied while making dinner, try having them make a turkey page corner bookmark! It's relatively simple, cute, and serves as a bookmark for all their reading needs.


I adapted the monster page corner bookmark from this blog.  It's the same idea, except instead of teeth, I added feathers and a triangle for the beak.  Here's a template from the blog that will allow you to make the body of the turkey (ignore the teeth and body insert if you want).  For the beak, I actually used one triangle from the monster teeth, and I drew my own template for the feathers.  I'm not sure if this is scaled to the right size, but here's my template that I adapted from the original to make the bookmarks.  I used this as a craft for an after school program at the library for older kids, and they had a blast making them.  I hope you do too!
