Turkey disguise as a football player: helmet, jersey, game plan
A football player disguise is a helmet, a jersey and something to carry. The printable adds a face guard that frames the eyes without covering them, a number on the chest and a football tucked into one wing. It is a good choice for a child who wants a sporty costume that does not need a lot of color, and the paper-bowl helmet is one of the easiest 3D pieces to make.

What the football player disguise looks like
The helmet covers the top and sides of the head, with a face guard that arcs across the cheeks and leaves the eyes and beak clear. A jersey covers the body with a large number outlined on the chest and stripes on the sleeves. One wing holds a small football, and the other has a wristband. The shapes are broad and symmetrical, so the page reads well in black and white and is simple to color in team colors.
Make the real craft version
You need a brown paper bowl, a pipe cleaner, white paper, a brown paper oval and a glue stick. Cut the rim off the bowl and fit it over the turkey's head. Bend a pipe cleaner into a U-shape and tape the ends inside the helmet for the face guard. Cut a paper jersey shape and glue it to the body; add a number with marker. For the football, cut a brown oval, draw a white lace line and tape it to the inside of one wing. Add a white paper wristband to the other wing.
Three variations
Quarterback: add a playbook made from a folded paper square and a paper armband with a playsheet. Cheerleader: swap the helmet for a paper bow, add pom-poms made from tissue paper and keep the jersey. Coach: add a paper cap, a whistle on a yarn loop and a clipboard in one wing. The coach version is the fastest and gives the turkey something to say in the paragraph.
The post-game interview paragraph
Start with a quote: "I am disguised as a football player because nobody eats the player who scores the winning touchdown." Add a stat: "My helmet has a face guard, and my jersey number is one." Then a teammate detail: "I am the whole team. If you need a substitute, look in the refrigerator." The sports-interview voice gives the turkey confidence, and the joke at the end sounds like something a coach would say. Keep it to three or four sentences.

Add a brown paper-bowl helmet with a pipe-cleaner face guard, a paper jersey with a number, and a paper football tucked into one wing. Keep the eyes and beak visible.
What can I use for a football helmet?
A brown paper bowl or half a paper plate makes the shell. A pipe cleaner bent into a U-shape makes the face guard, and a strip of white paper makes the chin strap.
