Turkey Prints

Handprint Footprint Turkey

Princess likes to make handprints with paint and turn them into pictures. So we thought we would make a turkey using her hands and paint.

Materials needed:
*postal paper
*tape
*paint (washable)
*sponge brush
*googly eyes or just a marker to make them


I cut off a big piece of the paper and taped it to the floor. I divided the paper into four sections so we could make four "turkeys".

Paper sectioned and ready to stamp!

Then I got out our washable paints and painted one of Princess's hands using the sponge brush. She then stamped her hand on the paper. I had her stamp her hand 3 times on each square. We then took a break to let the paint dry for a bit and for mommy to refill her coffee.

This was the best part for her.

Next up the turkey body...using her foot. I mixed up the paint we had to make a "brownish" color and "stamped her foot to the pictures. Letting it dry.

Foot print!

I cut the pictures down and we added the eyes, beak and gobble. We also added a Thanksgiving greeting to our picture. Very simple. Very fun. And something Princess can give to her grandparents and those she is thankful for.

I then after they were completely dry, I cut them down a bit more.
