Tips for Coloring These Turkey Pages
These pages feature mixed line densities with that signature turkey texture—feathers everywhere! Crayons work great for the thick outlines on simple pages, while colored pencils give you control over the detailed forest scenes. For the medium pages with lots of small spaces, fine-tip markers can add crisp edges.
Pro Tip: To make turkey feathers look soft and realistic, color along the direction they fan out using short strokes. Layer browns, coppers, and golds, then blend a lighter shade near the tips for that natural fluffy look. Real turkey feathers shimmer in the sunlight!
