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
bulletPrint 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). 
 
  
bulletTrace around child's hand at the bottom of the paper.  This will be the Turkey's tail. 
 
bulletColour or paint hand print. 
 
bulletDraw 2 small eyes, a triangle beak and a gobbler to complete 
bulletyou 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.
bulletsee 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!
