I have always loved a good
hand print turkey craft.
I remember making them
ALL THE TIME when I was a kiddo...
(Memories...*sigh*)
I mean what is SWEETER than seeing little...
...hand prints on a piece of paper?
So when I ran across...
...THIS cute little guy
on Pinterest,
I just knew we had to make them
to brighten up someone's day...
**********************************
Here's how we created them:
First...
...I gathered up all our supplies.
*Washable paint,
in the colors of
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and brown
*Throw away bowls
*White card stock paper
*Sponge brushes
*Red and orange craft foam
*Brown construction paper
*Black beads
*Scissors
*Glue
*Black marker
*Baby Wipes
*Trash bag
**************************************
After getting all the supplies together...
...I prepped the craft.
I knew I would be making this with my kiddos
and a few others in the 'hood,
so I went ahead and cut out the
turkey heads, bodies, beaks, and snoods/wattles.
I also got all the paint ready in separate bowls
and had the baby wipes/trash bag
ready for clean up.
*********************************
I then called each of the kiddos up to me
individually...
...and painted his/her hand
to create the feathers for the turkey.
(Ain't he a cutie?)
*********************************
The kiddos would then place their painted hands...
...in the center of the card stock,
leaving a stamp print for their turkeys.
If you are working with a baby,
I HIGHLY recommend...
...painting his foot instead of his hand.
I know our Mad Max would have
just eaten to paint if we had placed it
on his hands... ;0)
**********************************
After letting...
...the rafter of turkeys dry for a bit...
...each kiddo got to glue on
their other turkey parts
to complete the project...
I do believe they all did a
Gobble-tastic Great Job!

Linking up with
I love it :) I wonder if I could get the older kids to let me paint their hands too - those would be hilarious!
