Quick and Easy Crafts for Kids are great for when you have a lot of little ones in the house. These Thanksgiving Hand-print Turkeys were a blast for Halleigh and Teagan plus their a Holiday Craft so grab some bonus points with the kiddos for that too.
Step 1. Trace Hands on different color sheets of paper including 1 brown. We used 1 each of red, orange, yellow and brown.
Step 2. Cut out each individual hand. I recommend safety scissors but most likely the older children in the house had stolen them for a school project so monitoring was close LOL).
Step 3. Cut off the thumb on each hand except for the brown piece.
Step 4. Overlap and arrange hand-prints so the fingers show like feathers (seen in picture 7) and glue.
Step 5. Trim excess paper from bottom edges (picture 8).
Step 6. Glue on an orange beak from scrap paper and "the gobbler" as I call it out of red and glue. We just used a marker for the eye but feel free to use a googly eye if you have some.
Step 7. Decorate as you please. If you're like my daughter and I and like to be perfectionists a simple "Happy Thanksgiving" is just fine but for the extra creative let them decorate the feathers or the whole thing i guess. It's their Turkey.
Try it out and see what your kiddos think
