DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Handprint Turkey with Poem  

This is the standard handprint turkey craft that we've all been making for years! 

Materials:

• paper,
• scissors,
• pencil crayons.
   
• glue,
• Optional:  feathers

Instructions:

• Trace around child's hand with the fingers spread out as much as possible.
   
• Either cut a eyes, hat, beak and wattle out of construction paper or draw them on with pencil crayons or markers ...  The thumb of the handprint is the turkey's head.
   
• Draw on some orange legs.
   
• Optional:  Glue a feather onto each of the fingers.

Here's a cute poem to go with your craft:

This isn't just a turkey as you can plainly see.

I made it with my hand which is a part of me.

It comes with lots of love especially to say, 

I hope you have a very, Happy Thanksgiving Day!
