    Turkey Hand Print Craft – Thanksgiving Craft with Kids

    By Laura CyraDecember 5, 20242 Comments4 Mins Read

    Gobble Gobble!! It's turkey time again and what better way to use up those toilet paper rolls you have been saving than by making this super cute turkey hand print craft with your kids! It would make a fabulous centerpiece for your table. You could make one for each family member and have a whole flock for your Thanksgiving dinner! You guys know the drill… grab up your supplies and grab your kids and let's have a great time!!

    Turkey Hand Print Craft

    Turkey Hand Print Craft – Thanksgiving Craft with Kids

    The supply list is basic. You probably already have everything you need to complete this turkey handprint craft. You don't need to use anything expensive, make what you have work, and purchase the other items online or at your local dollar store.

    Craft Supplies needed:

    Hand Print Craft Supplies
    • Empty toilet paper roll
    • googly eyes, the self-adhesive ones are the easiest
    • red, orange, and brown card stock or construction paper
    • fall colored patterned paper (I used 12×12 sheets of scrapbook paper from Dollar Tree)
    • Glue stick
    • Scissors

    Step by Step Directions:

    Step 1

    Cut a piece of brown paper big enough to fit around your toilet paper roll. Don't worry about getting it perfect; you can always cut away the extra sticking off the end. You can skip this whole step and just use a toilet paper roll if you want. It is brownish and would work without any paper. Unless you're a little picky like me, the lines on the roll would drive me nuts! LOL

    Turkey Craft Step 2

    Step 2

    Use your glue stick cover the piece of brown paper and roll it around the toilet paper roll. I let it dry for a bit after this because it kept wanting to unroll. While your brown paper is drying on the roll, you can get your googly eyes ready, and you still need to cut out the beak and the major caruncles (that is what that red dangly thing is called that hangs by the turkey's neck). So go ahead and get those cut out.

    Just make a triangle for the beak cut out a rectangle for the red hangy thing and then cut waves on the side of the rectangle. That's the easiest way I could figure out how to make the red part! Cut two more triangles out of the orange paper and make toes on them for the feet.

    Step 3

    After you get, that made you can trace your child's hand on the back of the fall-colored patterned paper and begin cutting them out. We ended up using 4 different papers, and they all fit on the back of the turkey and looked great. If they are old enough, they can cut their own hands out, and of course, you will want to help the younger ones. Once you get the hands cut out your toilet paper roll should be dry enough to start gluing it together.

    Craft Step 4

    Step 4

    Glue on the eyes, beak, and red thing first, and then flip over the roll to glue on the handprints. Start by gluing two handprint fingers facing outwards at the bottom of the back of your roll. Then go about an inch and stick on another pair of handprints. Keep going a little farther up until you run out of handprints.

    Craft Step 5

    Step 5

    All you need to do now is add the feet. We made the feet long and glued them to the inside of the roll at the bottom. Now you have an utterly adorable turkey and a great memory with your kids. These would make a cute gift to take to Grandma and Grandpa on Thanksgiving day!!

    Have fun creating with the kids!
