How to use it
Three steps, about 30 minutes, at home or in class.
Download the US Letter or A4 PDF and print it. Choose “Fit to page” so the whole turkey stays on the paper.
Color & decorate
Color the page, or cut costume pieces from construction paper and glue them on. Crayons alone work just fine.
Show it off
Add a name and date, then bring it to class or hang it up. Leave a few feathers showing so everyone can still tell it’s a turkey.

Draw the costume on the page, or cut shapes from paper and glue them on. Felt, foil, yarn, and googly eyes are fun extras — not required. The joke works best when a few feathers still peek through.
Questions parents ask
Quick answers before you print.
What size should I print?
Use standard US Letter (8.5×11 in) or A4. Each template is a one-page PDF made for that size. In your print settings, choose “Fit to page” (or “Fit”) so the whole turkey stays on the paper.
Is this disguise a turkey template free?
Yes. Every PDF on this page is free to download and print — the blank turkey, the eight ready-made disguises, and the all-in-one pack. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no class-pack fee. You can print as many copies as you need.
Can teachers use it in class?
Yes. Teachers are welcome to print these for a whole class, send them home, or add them to a Thanksgiving packet. The all-in-one PDF is the easiest way to get every template in one file. There is nothing to purchase and no account to create.
How do I disguise a turkey without craft supplies?
Just print and color. Crayons, colored pencils, or markers are enough. If you want a costume that isn’t in the gallery, print the blank turkey and draw the disguise right on the page.
What is the difference between US Letter and A4?
US Letter is the usual paper size in the United States (8.5×11 inches). A4 is the usual size in most other countries (210×297 mm). Pick the one that matches the paper in your printer. The drawings are the same; only the page size changes.
What is a disguise a turkey project?
It is a common elementary-school craft in November. Children get a paper turkey and disguise it as something else — a chef, a pirate, an astronaut — so it won’t end up as Thanksgiving dinner. Finished turkeys usually go up on the classroom wall.
Can I invent my own disguise?
Yes. Download the blank turkey template and draw or collage any costume you like. The ideas list below the how-to steps has starting points, from a firefighter to a taco.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The files are ordinary PDFs. Click Letter or A4, save the file, and print it from any phone, tablet, or computer — at home, at school, or at a library or copy shop.
