Thanksgiving Turkey Juice Box Covers

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to reflect on our gratitude and appreciation for our family, friends, and the life we live.

Looking for the good that has occurred over the past year and what is yet to come. As your house fills with laughter and the busyness that is expected when friends and family begin to arrive for a great meal, it is often that the kiddos is get lost in all the adult chatter.

These Turkey Juice Box covers are simple enough to do. Keep in mind that younger kids may need some additional help from an old child or adult. But ultimately they can do the wrapping, the taping or gluing, and customizing themselves.

Creating Your Juice Box Covers For Thanksgiving

Time to turn an ordinary box of juice into a fun turkey friend with a colorful tail. I am pretty sure your kids will love these adorable additions.

You can find printable instructions for this craft below (just scroll down).

Supplies Need to Make Thanksgiving Craft – Juice Box Covers

• Juice Boxes of your choice (I used Juicy Juice. Just in case you find my measurements a little off)
• Construction paper (brown for the body, orange for the beak, red for the wattle, and multiple colors for the feathers)
• Glue or tape
• Scissors
• Googly Eyes

Making Your Thanksgiving Turkey Juice Box Covers

Please Note: You will want to make sure you remove the straw from the juice box before you make the wrapper, otherwise it will be impossible for your child to pull out from behind the wrapper without wrecking their new cover.

STEP ONE: First start with a piece of a brown sheet of construction paper. Place your juice box on top to get a rough estimate for measuring.  Your size will be dependent on your juice box.

STEP TWO: Roll out your juice box on construction paper. Roll enough times to make sure it will be covered. Rolling it 4 times over.

Again, there is no need for exact measurements. But if you suffer from OCD like me, the above juice box measured on my sheet of paper is 7 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches (based on my juicy juice box).

STEP THREE: Begin work on the tail feathers. Start the tail feathers by cutting out the shapes using different colored construction paper. Using your scissors, cut out a long rounded triangle to form a feather. You will need six or more.

Then take each feather to shape the turkey’s tail. (As pictured below).

STEP FOUR: Now add your turkey’s tail to your juice box cover. You will need to flip your juice box over so the glued seam is face up. Glue an arrangement of feathers to the back of the juice box.

STEP SIX: Turn your juice around and on the front, attach two googly eyes. Take your orange construction paper and cut out a small triangle for the beak. And then cut out a small red wattle to add. Arrange to make your turkey complete.

Aren’t these Turkey Juice Box Covers adorable? I am sure your kiddos will enjoy drinking from them as much as they did making them. Happy Thanksgiving!
