Disguise a Turkey as Spider-Man

To disguise a turkey as Spider-Man, cover the head and body in red, draw a black web over it, add two big white eye shapes and a small spider on the chest, then colour the tail feathers blue. It is one of the most requested disguises because it needs only red and blue paper and a black marker, and the mask hides the beak and wattle in one go. Allow about 35 minutes.

The PDF has three pages: this picture to colour, the cut-out pieces, and a blank turkey to build on.

What you need

  • Printed turkey outline on cardstock
  • Red paper or a red marker
  • Blue paper or crayon for the feathers and legs
  • Black marker (a fine one for the web)
  • White paper for the eyes
  • Glue stick
  • White string or yarn for a web line (optional)

No printer ink to spare? Print only page 3 (the blank turkey) and draw the costume by hand using the picture as a guide.

How to disguise a turkey as Spider-Man, step by step

  1. Colour or cover the head and body in red. If you use paper, trace the turkey first so the red piece fits.
  2. Cut two white teardrop eyes, outline them in thick black and glue them on the head, tilted inward. Big eyes are what make it read as Spider-Man from across the room.
  3. Draw the web: lines fanning out from a point between the eyes, then short curved lines joining them like a spider web. Do the long lines first.
  4. Draw or glue a small black spider shape in the middle of the chest.
  5. Colour the tail feathers and the legs blue. Alternating red and blue feathers also works.
  6. Tape a piece of white string from one wing to the edge of the page for a web line, or draw it.
  7. Finish the writing line: "My turkey is disguised as Spider-Man because nobody eats a superhero who can swing away."

Printable Spider-Man cut-out pieces

Printable cut-out costume pieces for a Spider-Man turkey disguise

Print the cut-out sheet at 100% on plain paper or cardstock, colour the pieces first, then cut them out and glue them onto the turkey. The pieces are not scaled to one particular outline, so hold each one against your turkey first and trim it, or use it as a pattern to trace at the size you need.

The cut-out sheet was drawn with an AI image tool and checked by hand. Shapes are simple on purpose so small scissors can follow them.

Tips that save time

  • Draw the web with a ruler for the straight lines and by hand for the curves. Wobbly curves look better than wobbly spokes.
  • If the teacher wants the turkey visible, leave the beak poking out under the mask and keep the feet bare.
  • A white gel pen or correction pen makes the eye outlines pop on red marker.

Lines for the writing part

Most classes ask for a sentence or a short paragraph in the turkey's voice. Three starters your child can change:

  • “I am not a turkey. I am your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.”
  • “My spider sense says dinner is somewhere else today.”
  • “You cannot catch me. I will swing over the table and out the window.”

There are printable writing pages for three grade bands in the project guide.
