DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Handprint Turkey with Poem  

Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, and something to colour with. 

Turkey handprint
  • Print out the template of choice (the template is a Thanksgiving poem the girl's brought home from daycare.  I'm sure some of you have likely seen it before... it was so sweet, I couldn't resist putting it on the site). 
     
      
  • Trace around child's hand at the bottom of the paper.  This will be the Turkey's tail. 
     
  • Colour or paint hand print. 
     
  • Draw 2 small eyes, a triangle beak and a gobbler to complete 
    • you can cut a peanut shape out of paper for the body, glue it to the center of the handprint and draw the face on that if you like.
    • see picture above for how it should end up looking.

For those of you who don't want the template... here's the poem

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!

 

 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).
