Turkey Crafts
There is something so fun about turkey crafts. I cannot decide if it's the cuteness of the animals or the critical role they play in Thanksgiving that makes me love them so much. In actuality, it is the flare of their colorful feather tails that make me love them so much.
They could be whatever color the kid (or adult) could imagine. Creativity is a fun muscle that I wish every child to flex. What color you want them to be is my typical response to the kids I'm teaching art to.
Turkey Handprint
There is something so nostalgic about a turkey handprint. Thanksgiving is a holiday all about family and traditions from recipes to decorations. The idea of hanging my children's sweet turkey hand art up each year as I make my great-grandmother's stuffing recipe gives my heart so much joy.
We hope you treasure this turkey handprint craft as much as we do and store it for years to come!
