when it comes to thanksgiving decorations, i’m really lacking. we have a few little pumpkins and our new fall subway art and that’s about it.
so, this weekend, we got the whole family involved and made a cute little turkey wall hanging.
(the hubby let me trace his hand and that was all the fun he could handle)
supplies:
white cardstock
a roll of kraft gift wrap
crayons or colored pencils
glue stick
scissors
11 3/4 x 36″ frame (same frame we use for the summer/holiday to-do list)
trace hand prints onto white cardstock… color your turkey… cut it out… make sure to include his/her feet and red dangler thing… cut out enough kraft paper to fill your frame… adhere your turkeys using the glue stick… cut a strip of cardstock and write down everyone’s names and attach underneath… easy, right? we thought so. 🙂
*also check out our friend Malinda’s version here. so cute!

Cute idea!
I love it! I'm going to do mine and my husband's to send to our grandchildren so they can add their family to complete the picture. It's a great way to connect for this special holiday. XOXO
What a great idea, I love it! Thanks. 🙂
I love it! So cute. I think I may have to steal this idea! Thanks! 🙂
Awesome! 🙂
I am going to have us do this tonight for FHE activity. I needed an easy thanksgiving decoration. Thanks so much!
Haha, call me a nerd, but I still love making handprint turkeys!
We are so doing this for the after school program today. My kindergartners will love it!
That's a great family craft.
I'm not the craftiest of moms, but I think even I can handle this project. Thanks for sharing it!
Simple & cute! I like the idea of framing them all…
this is very cute! I am so in to hand art right now – maybe its my preschooler! thanks
I am a 30-something woman with no kids. Would it be totally weird for me to trace my own hands and hang it up for the holidays? I used to love doing this as a kid. Thanks for bringin' it back!
I found this via Pinterest, and I just wanted to thank you for such a cute idea. My kids and I did this day and now we just need Daddy to do his. 🙂 I'm going to make a garland for the mantle with our turkeys. 🙂
