Whoop! It’s fall! My favorite time of year! The Hand-print Turkey Craft for Kids is perfect for November and fall. They are simple and fun to make. The girls and I made an entire family of turkeys using everyone’s hands. We even made a wittle, bitty baby turkey using JJ’s hand. It’s so cute and silly looking because he wouldn’t open his fingers. Oh well! It’s adorable anyway! 🙂

Thanksgiving is almost here! I’m so excited, are you? Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and this hand-print turkey craft is a fun way to make some decorations for the house. The girls and I hung our turkey family up on the french doors with a little bit of double-sided tape.

Thanksgiving is a great time to make hand-print turkey crafts for kids. Using multiple cut-out of fingers from different colors of construction paper allow for the hand-print turkeys to have full tails.

Directions:
  1. On a sheet of brown construction paper trace a hand.
  2. Cut out the hand.
  3. Trace the four fingers of the hand cut out on the orange, yellow, red, and green construction papers.
  4. Cut out the fingers from each piece of paper.
  5. On the back of the brown hand, smear glue on the four fingers.
  6. Layer the orange, yellow, red, and green fingers around the brown fingers to create a full tail of feathers adding more glue as needed.
  7. Allow to dry.
  8. Glue a googly eye to the thumb of the hand.
  9. Punch a hole in the bottom of the turkey.
  10. Cut a piece of pipe cleaner about 3 inches long (longer if the hand-print is big).
  11. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and thread through the hole until the halfway point (where it was folded).
  12. Twist the pipe cleaner a couple of times to secure.
  13. Cut a piece of yarn about 2 inches long.
  14. Fold the yarn in half and glue one half on the front and back of the turkey’s head.
  15. Allow to dry completely.
  16. Once dry use a piece of double-sided tape to hang the turkey on the window or wall.

The girls love making the Hand-print Turkey Craft. This was the first time that we made them but I’m sure it will become a yearly family activity.

What does your family do to celebrate Thanksgiving?  What’s your family’s favorite activity?

Have a great day!
