Yield: 1 turkey
Materials
- 1 piece White cardstock
- Fall colors of tempera paint we used red, orange, yellow and brown
- Paint brush
- Paper towel roll
- Scissors
- Black marker
- 1 Googly eye
- Glue
Instructions
- Dip your brush in brown paint and paint your child's hand and thumb with a thick layer of paint. If you don't use a lot of paint on the palm, it will dry before you get the fingers painted.
- Paint the rest of your child's fingers with the other colors of paint, remembering to use a liberal amount of paint.
- Have your child carefully push their hand onto the white cardstock, careful not to move their hand.
- Have the child lift up their hand to reveal a multicolored handprint.
- Let the painted hand turkey dry and add a googly eye with glue to the thumb.
- Cut out a yellow construction paper beak and draw a red waddle under the thumb on the cardstock.
- Cut out the turkey handprint card. If your child is pretty good with scissors, they can do this themselves.
- Cut off an inch from the bottom of a paper towel roll and glue or tape it to the back of the handprint to allow the turkey to stand upright.
