Get Crafting With the 16 Best Turkey Disguise Ideas

During the month of November, many classrooms across America take part in the "Turkey Disguise Project." This project asks each student to devise clever ways to conceal their turkey's true identity so they don't get eaten during the holiday season. Super cute, right?

Some kids choose to disguise a turkey as their favorite superhero, while others hide them under a Santa suit. One child might decide to use leaves to turn a turkey into a peacock instead, while another uses pom-poms to hide their turkey behind a gumball machine. The possibilities for creative disguises are endless with this craft project!

So grab your glue gun and some cotton balls because it's time to save Tom Turkey! Below are some fun Turkey Disguise ideas we've found!
