November 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #24: Easy Kids Thanksgiving Craft Idea

1

Tip of the Week

When you're rushing around cooking dinner and dusting off the good dishes, you don't have time to supervise complicated crafts. It's a good thing that there are plenty of easy kids' Thanksgiving craft ideas to help you out!


One of my favorite kid approved Thanksgiving craft ideas is to make the traditional handprint turkey. Kids love tracing around their hands to create all sorts of crafts and doting relatives treasure crafts that show how tiny those little hands are. Simply trace the hand shape onto white paper and then add details with a crayon. The thumb area is the turkey's head and the fingers become a colorful tail.


However, for older kids or young children who are more experienced crafters, traditional handprint turkeys can be a bit too simple.


To make a more complicated version of the handprint turkey craft, you will need:

feathers
googley eyes
scissors
glue
crayon
brown, red and orange paper
orange pipecleaner
hole punch
yarn



Begin by spreading out the fingers on the hand you don't write with as wide as you can. Place your hand on a piece of brown or tan paper and trace around it. Cut out your hand shape. Cut out a red wattle and an orange beak. Cut the pipe cleaner in half.


Glue the wattle and beak to the thumb of the cut out hand. Add a googley eye to each side of the thumb. Glue feathers onto the fingers of your handprint. Shape the bottom of each pipe cleaner half into feet. Glue the pipe cleaner legs to your craft.


Punch a hole in the top of your turkey handprint. Thread your yarn through the hole and tie a knot. Now, you have a cute handprint turkey decoration that you can hang in your window.


For a messier version of this craft, use finger paints or a non-toxic washable ink to make the handprint instead of tracing around your hand.
