Gobble, Gobble

I think this is a nice keepsake for parent. I know you can't save everything but some things are worth saving.

Handprint Turkey with Poem

Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, and something to colour with.
Turkey hand print
Print out the template of choice (the template is a Thanksgiving poem the girl's brought home from daycare. I'm sure some of you have likely seen it before... it was so sweet, I couldn't resist putting it on the site).

Trace around child's hand at the bottom of the paper. This will be the Turkey's tail.
Colour or paint hand print.

Draw 2 small eyes, a triangle beak and a gobbler to complete
you can cut a peanut shape out of paper for the body, glue it to the center of the handprint and draw the face on that if you like.
see picture above for how it should end up looking.

For those of you who don't want the template... here's the poem

This isn't just a turkey as you can plainly see.

I made it with my hand which is a part of me.

It comes with lots of love especially to say,

I hope you have a very, Happy Thanksgiving Day!
