Gobble gobble! Our printable turkey mask is a farmyard classic that earns its place in any collection - with that magnificent fanned tail, bright wattle and proud strut, the turkey is one of the most dramatic birds in the barnyard. Perfect for farm animal school plays, Thanksgiving and harvest themed activities, World Book Day, birthday parties, and impressively puffed-up imaginative play.

The turkey is one of those versatile masks that spans farm topics, Thanksgiving celebrations, harvest festivals and general bird projects - and the wild turkey of North America is a genuinely impressive animal, a world away from the farmed version most people picture. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Turkeys!

Wild turkeys can fly at speeds of up to 55km/h - the domesticated turkey has been bred to be so large it can barely fly, but wild turkeys are athletic birds that roost in trees and can run at 25km/h on the ground.
Benjamin Franklin reportedly preferred the turkey to the bald eagle as America's national bird - in a private letter he called the eagle 'a bird of bad moral character' and praised the turkey as 'a true original native of America'.
Male turkeys (toms) have a dangly red piece of skin on their forehead called a snood - the length and colour of the snood changes with the turkey's mood and health, and females prefer males with longer, redder snoods.
Turkeys can change the colour of their head and neck - the bare skin flushes bright red, white or blue depending on mood, health and social signalling, giving them a rather startling colour range.
A group of turkeys is called a rafter - not a flock. Wild turkey rafters are led by dominant females who coordinate the group's movements and feeding, while males mostly display and compete with each other.
