Turkey disguise as a snowman: a cold case for a hot oven

A snowman disguise is built from winter accessories: a top hat, a scarf and three coal buttons. The printable adds a paper carrot over the beak and keeps the eyes open under the hat brim, so the turkey looks dressed up rather than buried. It is a good choice for a child who wants a costume with a clear silhouette and a very obvious joke about melting.

What the snowman disguise looks like

A black top hat sits on the head with a wide brim, and a scarf wraps around the neck with one end hanging down the body. Three coal buttons run down the chest. A paper carrot points out over the beak like a nose, and the body is left white so the child can add snow dots, a twig arm or a patch of blue shadow.

Make the real craft version

You need a black paper cup, a paper plate, a strip of fabric or felt, black paper, orange paper and a glue stick. Cut the bottom inch off the cup and glue the cup to the center of the plate for a top hat. Cut a scarf strip long enough to wrap around the neck, fringe the ends and glue one end to the body. Punch three black circles for coal buttons. Roll a small orange paper cone and glue it over the beak, pointing forward. Add a paper twig arm behind one wing if you want the full snowman look.

Three variations

Snowwoman: add a paper bow at the neck, two paper eyelashes and a smaller hat. Melting snowman: cut a wavy puddle shape for the bottom of the page and let one side of the scarf droop. Hot cocoa snowman: put a paper mug in one wing and add a cotton-ball marshmallow on top. The melting version is the easiest to explain in a paragraph and the funniest on a bulletin board.

What to write when the turkey is a snowman

Use cause and effect. "I am disguised as a snowman because snow cannot roast. My hat is black, my scarf is red, and my nose is a carrot. If the kitchen gets too warm, I will melt into the rug. Please do not mop." The first sentence gives the reason, the second proves the costume, and the third follows the logic to a funny ending. If your child wants a longer piece, add where the snowman came from and who built him.

Questions

How do you disguise a turkey as a snowman?

Add a black top hat, a scarf around the neck, three coal buttons on the body and a paper carrot over the beak. Keep the hat brim above the eyes so the turkey's face stays visible.

What can I use for a snowman hat?

A black paper cup glued to a paper plate makes a top hat. A black paper cylinder with a cardboard brim works too, and a small black bowl can stand in for a hat if you add a brim.

What are easy snowman turkey disguise ideas?

The hat and scarf are enough. Add three black dots for coal and a small orange paper cone for the nose. Skip the twig arms if time is short.

Does the carrot cover the turkey's beak?

It sits over the beak like a snowman's nose, but the outline should leave the beak visible underneath. If the carrot hides the whole beak, make it smaller or move it to the side.
