This Thanksgiving Turkey Handprint Craft makes a fun and easy activity for young kids at home or in the classroom. The printable includes a cartoon turkey wearing a pilgrim hat, with the words “Happy Thanksgiving” at the top and “With Love, Your Little Turkey” on the bottom. It’s designed so kids can place painted handprints on each side of the turkey to create the look of colorful tail feathers.
It’s a hands-on way to get kids involved in Thanksgiving crafts while giving families a keepsake to hold onto. You just print the sheet and let the kids press their painted hands down. It works well with finger paints or washable craft paint.
Teachers and daycare staff often use this type of project for bulletin boards or to send home with students. It’s simple enough for toddlers with adult help, and preschoolers can usually do it with minimal assistance.
