Turkey disguise as a doctor: a coat, a mirror and a second opinion

A doctor disguise is a white coat and two recognizable tools: the head mirror and the stethoscope. The printable adds a coat with lapels, a head mirror above the eyes and a stethoscope around the neck. It is a good costume for a child who likes to explain things, because the turkey can deliver a diagnosis in the writing portion.

What the doctor disguise looks like

The coat has wide lapels, a row of buttons and two pockets. A round head mirror sits on a band above the forehead, and a stethoscope loops around the neck with two earpieces. A small name tag and a pocket square complete the coat. The face stays open under the mirror, and the wings are free to hold a clipboard. The shapes are simple and symmetrical, so the page is easy to color and easy to cut.

Make the real craft version

You need white paper, foil, a paper band, yarn, two bottle caps and a glue stick. Cut a white paper coat shape and glue it to the body; add a pocket and a name tag. For the head mirror, cut a foil circle and glue it to a paper band, then fit the band around the turkey's head. For the stethoscope, tape a length of yarn around the neck and glue a bottle cap to each end. A small paper clipboard in one wing gives the turkey something to write on.

Three variations

Nurse: add a paper cap with a small cross, a thermometer made from a straw and a red line, and keep the coat. Surgeon: add a paper mask below the beak, a surgical cap and a pair of paper gloves. Veterinarian: add a paw-print badge, a paper bandage on one wing and a small stuffed-animal patient. The veterinarian version is a nice fit for a child who wants to include a pet in the story.

The doctor's note

Write a prescription instead of a paragraph: "Patient: one turkey. Symptoms: a suspicious oven and a growling stomach. Diagnosis: the turkey is disguised as a doctor. Treatment: soup, rest and a very large salad. Note: my mirror is foil, and my stethoscope is yarn." A prescription format covers the reason, the costume and the joke in a few lines. It is also easier to read aloud than a dense paragraph.

Questions

How do you disguise a turkey as a doctor?

Add a white paper coat with lapels, a foil head mirror on a band and a yarn stethoscope with bottle-cap ends. A clipboard or name tag finishes the costume.

What can I use for a stethoscope?

Yarn, string or a pipe cleaner makes the tube. Glue a bottle cap, a button or a small paper circle to each end for the chest piece.

What are easy doctor turkey disguise ideas?

The coat and head mirror are enough. Draw the stethoscope with a marker if you do not have yarn. A pocket and a name tag make the coat look intentional.

What do you write for a doctor turkey?

Give the turkey a diagnosis, describe the coat or stethoscope, and end with a prescription or a joke about the oven's temperature.
