We do most of our learning at home, and the kids really thrive when we use printables. They’re a fun way to mix learning with some cool visuals. Plus, printables give the kids a nice boost of confidence, which is always a win! We love learning about birds and animals and exploring their anatomy and life cycles. Why not explore other topics while we’re at it?

We like to learn about birds and animals, their entire bodies, and life cycles. Because when you’re learning, you might as well dive into other topics while you’re doing so!

What is special about turkeys?

Turkeys are pretty fascinating creatures! Beyond being the star of Thanksgiving dinners, they have some unique traits. For starters, they can fly short distances, which is surprising for such big birds.

Plus, male turkeys are known for their colorful plumage and that distinct gobbling sound they make to attract females. Interestingly, they also have a great sense of vision, thanks to their large eyes. Overall, turkeys are not just delicious but also pretty interesting in their own right!

What fun would learning be without any reading? I love finding great books for the kids to read and there are so many great turkey books out there! Once we get past Halloween, the Halloween books get put up, and the Turkey books come out! The kids have a blast reading these books and turning through the pages!

The biggest reason that I have so many types of books for the kids to read is that I think it’s important to swap them out to keep them fresh. My kids will read the same books over and over again, and once they get tired of them, I like to put them away for a while and pull out something new.

It’s not uncommon for me to have 15-20 books on a specific topic packed away and waiting. I love having books that are seasonal for the kids to dive into and read. I keep them in the car and in my purse, and the kids even have started packing some when we step out of the house.

Because when we’re waiting or traveling or going to appointments, downtime is the perfect time to pick up a book!

What are the parts of a turkey?

Do you know all the parts of a turkey? This sheet can help you learn, too. I’m always telling the kids that even adults need refreshers, so these printables are fun for me to use to rack my brain and refresh my mind. The parts of the turkey on this worksheet are:

  • Tail feathers
  • Wattle
  • Eye
  • Foot
  • Caruncles
  • Tail coverts
  • Wing feathers
  • Beak

The worksheet below teaches the kids the words for the turkey parts and where they are on the turkey’s body.

They’ll be able to see the words visually and then write them out on the correct lines, pointing to the right areas of the turkey.

Multiple ways of learning are always a good idea and a simple way to make a topic or idea stick in their minds.

Below are just a few examples of fun turkey toys for the kids. I love to have toys with printables because they hold their attention and keep the learning exciting.

The great part about the toy ideas listed below is that they’re all unique and different. Some are stuffed animals, while others are building, and one the kids can even wear!

These toys can be used for educational purposes or can be super fun gift ideas, too. If you’re looking for holiday gifts or birthday gifts, these are great choices to use!

I try to find learning gifts that complement the lessons that we’re talking about. They don’t expect gifts each time but sometimes, the gift ideas are just too cute to pass up!

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.

Have fun learning about turkeys and math this fall with my cool printables.

What’s included in the turkey anatomy worksheet?

The kids have always been intrigued by turkeys. So much so that when we see one in the wild, we have to stop and take a look at all its glory. Truth be told, turkeys are really quite interesting to look at. They have a beautiful tail, a small head, and a big round body – which make for a fun and great talking points to have with the kids.

Seeing them in the wild is always exciting because they strut around and show off their stuff. The kids get a kick out of seeing them, too! You can also see them at petting zoos and farms, so it can be a great way to get out and take a field trip.

Once they get done with the parts of a turkey, you can talk about turkeys, too. See if they can name a few fun turkey facts or even remember the last time that you saw a real-life turkey.

If they have any turkey stuffed animals, have them grab them to join the party! They can also do their best to draw their own turkey and color it as well.

Use these turkey printables as a fun way to teach the kids about turkeys. By the time they’re done with these printables, they’ll be so full of knowledge that they’ll be able to talk turkey to anyone who will listen!

This would be a fun trivia idea to have at the Thanksgiving table, too. To see if any of the adults could list off the parts of the turkey – and if they can’t, the kids can jump in and do it for them!
