hand print turkey family

>> Monday, November 7, 2011 – 

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!

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

We are so doing this for the after school program today. My kindergartners will love it!

I'm not the craftiest of moms, but I think even I can handle this project. Thanks for sharing it!

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. :)
