Handprint and Footprint Turkey Craft

Use the children’s handprints and footprints to create a bright, joyful turkey for Thanksgiving! This activity is a super fun and easy sensory activity  for Thanksgiving. This like other in a bottle craft is perfect for younger kids and is almost mess free. This Turkey color mixing craft is an awesome science lesson too! The handprints as turkey feathers are just too adorable!

Simply apply brown paint to their foot, then stamp it on some white paper. Cut the outside of it once it has dried, then add a construction paper beak, gobble, and googly eyes. For handprints, trace kids hand on orange, yellow and red construction paper and cut them out. Take another Construction paper to make the craft base, stick the handprints first looking like turkey feathers and the add the footprint cutout in the center. I added a pilgrims hat to the turkey too!
