We really enjoy making turkey crafts, they are such a fun animal after all!

This simple stand would be really fun to make, especially for kids as they’ll be able to admire (and show off) their ingenuity at the dinner table.

How to make turkey hand crafts

What you need:

brown construction paper
two clothespins
orange, brown and yellow paint
Googly eyes or googly eyes stickers
yellow paper
glue
drag

Step by step instructions

Trace your hand onto brown cardstock and cut out the outline.

Paint four fingers (except thumb) fall colors to make the turkey’s tail.

Let the paint dry.

Cut a small triangle out of yellow paper and glue it to your thumb to make a beak. Also add a bulging eye.

If you want to turn this turkey handprint art into a fun Thanksgiving decoration, paint two clothespins orange. These will serve as the turkey legs and hold your guests’ names.

Clip the painted clothespins to the turkey.

I’ve also shared this handprint turkey tote over at Blitsy, where you’ll find all the steps and materials needed to make your own turkey tote.

I love working with wiggle eye stickers because they are so much more fun than your regular googly eyes – just look at them. And kids love working with stickers, your turkey can have more than two eyes.
