I don’t know about you, but I am a Toilet.Paper.Roll.Hoarder. With the Holidays fast approaching, now it’s there time to shine, and this Thanksgiving Turkey Windsock is the perfect kids craft to kick off the Toilet Paper Roll Crafting season!

We went a little Turkey Crafting Crazy now that Halloween is over and came up with a Clothespin Turkey and cute Pine Cone Turkey too!

The kiddos will love sticking the feathers into the Turkey’s toilet paper “head”, they’re just such a fun supply to craft with. Our cat thoroughly enjoyed making this Turkey Windsock too, and we spent a good deal of this craft sesh shooing him off the table as he was desperately trying to attack the feathers!

How to make a Turkey Windsock with a Toilet Paper Roll

Follow the below easy steps to turn your toilet paper toll trash into a fun Turkey Windsock craft for Thanksgiving!

First, paint the empty toilet paper roll all brown and allow to dry completely.

Cut an orange triangle out of felt to make a beak, and a red oblong piece out of felt to make the Snood (did you know it was called that?!)

Glue the Googly eyes, beak, and snood to the toilet paper roll to make the Turkeys face.

Cut 6 long strips of streamers, 2 of each color, about 12-18″ long depending on how long you want your windsock to hang. If you used ribbon instead of paper streamers, you may need to cut more/less strips depending on how wide the ribbon is.

Red, orange, and yellow crepe paper streamers cut into 12 inch strips.

Glue the crepe paper strips to the bottom inside part of the painted toilet paper roll, alternating colors as you glue them around.

Glue some feathers to the top back part of the toilet paper tube Turkey.

Last, glue a small piece of string across the top of your Toilet Paper Tube Turkey craft so that you can hang your windsock wherever you’d like.

We hung ours outside on the front porch and just love how the Turkeys colorful streamers blow gratefully in the wind!
