Turkey disguise as a pumpkin: round, orange and off the menu
A pumpkin costume wraps the turkey's body in a round orange shell with a stem hat on top. The printable draws the ribs as curved lines, adds a leaf and a curly vine, and leaves the face and feet visible. It is one of the simplest costumes to color because the body is one big shape, and the ribs can be paper strips or marker lines.

What the pumpkin disguise looks like
The pumpkin shell covers the body from the neck to the feet, with five curved ribs that meet at the top and bottom. A short green stem sits on the head like a hat, with a leaf and a curly vine to one side. The face stays above the shell, and the wings are tucked inside the pumpkin.
Make the real craft version
You need orange paper, green paper, a paper plate, a glue stick and a black marker. Cut a large orange oval and glue it over the body. Cut five thin orange strips, curve them with the back of a scissors blade and glue them from the top of the oval to the bottom for ribs. Cut a green rectangle for the stem and a leaf shape, then glue them to the top of the head. Add a curly vine made from a thin green paper strip. Draw a face on the pumpkin only if the assignment allows it; otherwise leave the turkey's face visible.
Three variations
Jack-o'-lantern: add a paper triangle eye, a small nose and a jagged mouth to the pumpkin shell, keeping the turkey's face above it. Pumpkin patch: add three smaller paper pumpkins around the feet and a vine that curls across the page. Pie pumpkin: make the shell shorter and wider, add a paper crust at the bottom and a dollop of cotton-ball whipped cream. The pie version is the funniest for a Thanksgiving paragraph.
The pumpkin's pie plan
Start with the menu: "At Thanksgiving, pumpkin gets pie. I would rather be dessert than dinner." Then the costume: "I am wearing a pumpkin shell with five ribs, a green stem hat and a curly vine." Then the plan: "If you put me in the oven, I will turn into a pie. Please do not test this." The menu logic is the joke, and the costume details prove the turkey did the work. Three sentences are enough; a fourth can describe the pie.
