Suggested Family Activity 🦃 Turkey Prints

Published by Library Staff on November 6, 2024November 6, 2024

If you and your children like to make crafts out of the imprints of their hands and feet, you can easily turn your child’s hand into a Thanksgiving turkey.  Paint the palm of their hand and their thumb with a thick layer of brown acrylic paint and then paint each finger a different color such as orange, red, yellow ,and green to be the feathers.  Press the hand firmly onto a sheet of paper to leave an imprint.  When the paint has dried, add in finishing details such as eyes, a beak, a wattle, and feet.  Check out our picture below for inspiration.

Here is a cute poem you can type out to put with your turkey picture as well:

This Isn’t Just a Turkey

As Anyone 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!
