Thanksgiving Crafts: Turkey Hand and Foot Print

Completed Project

We decided to make ourselves and the grandparents a hand-print Turkey for Thanksgiving from our toddler. I got the idea from various Facebook pages and Pinterest Pins.

Considering last Christmas my son did not want any parts of having paint on his hands for a mitten ornament we were making, I was pleasantly surprised at his enthusiasm for this project. 

I painted his hands different colors using a cotton ball and finger paints. We also painted his foot brown to make the body of the turkey. Afterwards, I let him paint some Thanksgiving pictures with the cotton balls since they still had paint left on them. 

He loved every minute of it. The end project turned out great. I can't wait to try this next year with his sister.
