This little turkey is thankful for you!

Start with this adorable thankful turkey design. Gather your supplies, and let kids choose the colors they’d like to use. We went with a classic brown, but any fall shades work great.

Using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of paint to their hand.

Press their hand upward from the turkey’s body, pressing down gently for a full print.

Lift their hand carefully to avoid smudging, and let it dry completely before adding any fun extras like googly eyes.

For a vibrant turkey, encourage kids to get creative with color!

We chose a mix of brown, red, and yellow, but each child can add their unique touch.

Apply a light coat of paint on their hand with a brush.

Place the hand upward from the turkey’s body, pressing down for an even print.

Carefully lift the hand to keep it neat, and add googly eyes once it’s fully dry if desired.
