Somehow I realize I’ve never done a since craft for Thanksgiving. My kids always seem to do a lot of crafts at school around the holiday so I’ve always skipped them. One I’ve always wanted to try is this turkey handprint. I’ve seen it around socially and always thought it was super cute! Check out how to make our fun Turkey Handprint Thanksgiving Craft Card!
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- tempera paints
- paper
- peel & stick wiggle eyes
- red and orange crayon
- paint sponge
Messy crafts always seem to be a favorite here. Gavin loved being able to get his hand covered in paint. I started with his fingers and then ended with his palm and made sure to bring it right up to the edges of his fingers. Make sure to have a good coating on their hand. If it’s your first time you can try on a spare piece of paper first.
Try to place the hand and fingers down all at once and then while they have their hand there you can press down gently to make sure all the areas of their hands touch the paper. Once your prints are made your kids can wash their hands and then let it completely dry.
When it’s dry you can use your crayons to change your handprints into turkeys! We have sticker eyes in different sizes that you can choose from that best fit your hand size.
Then Gavin used his best penmanship to finish it off. Now when we go to Thanksgiving dinner he has the perfect card for Nanny. We know she will just love it too!

So cute! I’ve been looking for a cute little Thanksgiving craft I can do with my daughter!
These are really adorable. I should go pick up some more paints this week to do them with the kids.
Super cute! I remember making these when I was in elementary school,but I don’t think my kids have made them at all – my 7 yr old would get a kick out of them, especially the google eyes!
My twins enjoyed making this craft! They love messing with paint!!
Love these easy and fun crafts for kids.
I love the variety of colors on this handprint Thanksgiving card. This is so cute!
