Grab our disguise a turkey template to make with this dinosaur disguise.

Instead of gluing on sequins you can paint dots for the dinosaur scales. Mini pom poms or hole-punched paper circles could also be used to make the scales.

Supplies Needed

• Printable dinosaur template – found at the bottom of this post. You can also print out our disguise a turkey template.

• Markers – (or you can use paint, colored pencils, etc) to color in the turkey template

• Scissors

• Glue stick

• Glitter paper (optional)

• Sequins (optional)

• White paint (optional)

How to Make a Dinosaur Turkey Disguise

1. Color in the turkey.

Download and print out our blank disguise a turkey template on white paper or cardstock.

Use paint, colored pencils, crayons, or markers to color in the turkey’s head, tail feathers, wings, and body. No need to color in the legs, they’ll be covered by the disguise.

2. Cut out the dinosaur template pieces.

Print out and color in the dinosaur templates (you can get the template at the bottom of the post).

Color the head frill, legs, and tail to match the color you chose for the turkey’s body.

For the horn, spike, and claw details, use the templates to trace and cut onto a white paper. We did this with glitter paper to add a little sparkle, but you can use regular white paper.

If the small spikes are too small for kids to cut out, you can just paint these parts on top of the head frill or use the other head frill template provided.

3. Glue down the dinosaur pieces.

Use a glue stick to glue the head frill, tail, and legs onto the turkey.

Glue the horns and spikes on. You can also paint the spikes on since these pieces are really small.

4. Add scale details.

Use the end of a paintbrush to dot paint onto the dinosaur to look like scales.

You can also glue on small sequins like we did with the green dinosaur.

Your turkey disguise is now complete!
