Proud Tom Turkey
A proud male turkey standing tall and facing forward with a big fanned tail and a bumpy wattle — a bold, cheerful turkey coloring page.
Meet the proud tom, a male turkey standing tall and facing you head-on. A wide fan of tall tail feathers spreads out behind his rounded body, a bumpy wattle hangs beneath his beak, and his cheerful expression makes him look every bit the king of the farmyard. The forward-facing pose and clean, bold outlines make this a friendly page for a wide range of ages — the big tail fan gives plenty of room for younger colorers, while the wattle and feather edges offer detail for older hands. A male turkey is called a tom, and he puffs up and fans his tail to look as grand as possible. Talk about how the bumpy wattle can change color when a turkey is excited or showing off. Print this proud bird on US Letter or A4 paper and give him the boldest, brightest tail you can imagine.
Coloring Tips
- Fan out the tail — use a row of warm colors across the feathers, going light to dark, to make the fan stand out.
- Redden the wattle — color the bumpy wattle in deep red or pink so it hangs boldly under the beak.
- Round the body — shade the edges of the body a little darker than the middle to make the tom look plump and proud.
