Thank you, these are very cute and the children will love these turkeys, tonight at church childcare. (class of 6-8 children) We are talking about gratefulness. I am grateful you are creative and giving to the community! 🙂
Thank you, Andrea! Hope all the kids enjoy this craft.
These are great! Thank you for making it easy to make for my students. I am putting the turkeys in the book we will start reading in a week! You have saved me hours of work!
I LOVE this! I’m a member of a non profit, MOMS Club, and we want to make these with the kids for Origami Day next month. I only have a black and white printer so I was wondering if you had a black and white “coloring book” version? Or do you mind if I trace it to make my own?
I’m sorry, Amanda, but I currently don’t have a black and white version of this bookmark. Also, you cannot trace it as that would be a copyright infringement.
Super easy love the idea
Thank you. I hope you made many turkeys, Yasmin!
