Gratitude Turkey- Distance Learning

Here is a fun social emotional project that works for distance learning too.

Illustrated Gratitude Turkey with feathers labeled: school, books, friends, family, art, home, nature, chocolate, music, my dog.

First, draw your turkey with pencil.

Next, outline your turkey with Sharpie marker.

Write on each feather one thing that you are grateful for.

Finally, color in with your choice of crayons, colored pencils or watercolor paints. Have fun!
