Hand-print Turkeys 
What You'll Need-Colored Paint Paper Plates Construction Paper Put a small amount of paint in a plate and have the child dip their hand in until the paint thinly covers the palm and fingers. Then, keeping the fingers spread out, make a print on construction paper. Take a pen or thin marker, or help your child using a fine paintbrush and add features to the thumb to make it into the turkey’s head -- a beak, comb and wattle. The palm is the body, so all you need to do is draw turkey feet on the bottom. **TIP- If your kids are patient, you can paint different colored fingers to give a lovely effect (see above). We did a few of these each, and the kids loved the different turkey that was created each time as we used different colors! Mushy Pumpkin Fun What you’ll need- Put everything onto the surface where you’ll be playing and let them have fun. It’s that simple. Young children and preschoolers can do this for hours. Allow them to really explore the goopy mess with their hands, let them taste it, squish it in their hands to hear the sounds and definitely smell it. And alternative to this is to give them paint, paper and the cinnamon sticks and let them use the cinnamon sticks to paint a Thanksgiving themed picture. Using the cinnamon sticks allows the pictures to take on a great scent, especially if done in a room with several projects hanging. Turkey Collage What you’ll need- |
