Turkey Stick Puzzle 

Get ready for a Thanksgiving craft that doubles as a brain-boosting challenge! Little hands will love designing, coloring and then solving their very own turkey puzzle — a perfect mix of art, learning and holiday fun all in one.

You’ll Need:

  • Popsicle sticks (about 9)
  • Tape
  • Markers or crayons
  • Black marker for letters and numbers

Let’s Make it:

  1. Arrange the popsicle sticks side by side on a flat surface and tape them together on the back to keep them in place.
  2. On the front draw a turkey and color it in with bright, festive shades.
  3. Label each stick — one side with letters (A–I) and the other side with numbers (1–9).
  4. Remove the tape, scramble the sticks and challenge your little one to rebuild their turkey puzzle.

Why We Love It:

  • Builds sequencing, memory and problem-solving skills.
  • Strengthens focus, patience and hand-eye coordination.
  • Makes a cute, reusable Thanksgiving-themed puzzle.
