Instructions:
Set out your supplies and different colored paint on a tray or paper plate.
Have your child use their thumb to print the turkey’s body in brown.
Then have them use their index finger to create rows of feathers in semi-circles around the body. We just used a towel to wipe the paint off their finger in between colors.
When the paint is dry, add some small googly eyes and a construction paper beak. You can also draw legs and feet if you’d like!
Have your child add their name on the bottom and you have the cutest little Thanksgiving keepsake!
Let us know if you try it! And we hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
