“So cute…..making it for my grandson who likes little things.”
Julie, 05 Nov 2026 · review of this listing on Etsy

A sleepy little turkey who naps in a cosy barn bed inside a matchbox! Kids cut, fold and glue a tiny box, tuck the turkey in under an autumn patchwork quilt and slide out the bed to say "Gobble, good morning!". A sweet Thanksgiving kids' table activity with a little "I'm thankful for you!" note to give away.

What's Included

  • 2 printable pages, full colour: 1 template page + 1 illustrated how-to page
  • 2 PDFs: A4 and US Letter (same craft, 300 dpi)
  • Craft pieces: matchbox cover with a name label (little turkey hugging a pumpkin pie with a squirrel friend, red barn, cornucopia and autumn trees), orange and brown striped sides, bed tray with maple leaf and pumpkin wallpaper, red barn headboard with a leaf garland, barn-door footboard with pumpkins, flip turkey in a plaid nightcap (sleepy front + awake back), autumn patchwork blanket pocket, leaf-print pillow, sleepy squirrel, 3 little toys (pumpkin pie, corn cob, acorn) and a leaf "psst... I'm thankful for you!" note

How It Works

Finished box: about 5.4 x 7.2 cm, perfect as a place-card gift on the Thanksgiving table. A fun screen-free fall activity for ages 5+, November classrooms, the kids' table, Friendsgiving, family gatherings and cosy autumn days.

  1. Print on 200-250 gsm cardstock at 100 % / Actual size (not "fit to page")
  2. Cut out the pieces and score the dashed lines
  3. Glue the pillow and blanket pocket on the flat tray, then fold up the bed
  4. Fold the cover into a tube and slide the bed in
  5. Tuck the turkey into the blanket pocket, slide a toy into its wings (a grown-up cuts the small wing slit), flip it over for good morning!
