Handprint Turkey with Poem
Contributed by
Instructions for children to make a simple turkey craft using their handprint. Craft is accompanied by a simple Thanksgiving 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!
Materials:
- printer,
- paper ,
- scissors,
- glue,
- something to colour with
Instructions:
- 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 template window when done 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).
