Materials:
 | a printer, |
| paper (I prefer construction
paper or another heavier paper), |
| scissors, |
| glue, and |
| something to colour with. |
Templates:
| Print out the template of choice.
|
| Colour pieces, as necessary.
|
| Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult
assistance.
|
| Trace around child's foot (or for a bigger turkey, around an adult's
foot). Brown construction paper or a brown paper bag work well. The foot will
serve as the turkey's body.
|
| Trace around child's hands multiple times on different colours of
construction paper (gift wrap works too).
 | The trick to the turkey is that more hand prints make it
better! |
| Optional: You can decorate the handprints with squiggly marker
lines, glitter glue pens, sequins or real feathers. |
| An Alternative: You can combine the hands of the whole family
or classroom to make one big turkey!
|
|
| Glue the handprints onto the body in layers to make the tail feathers
(see picture above).
|
| Glue the face and feet from the printable template to the body to
finish.

Templates:
| Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
|
| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
