While searching for Thanksgiving crafts that we hadn't done yet, I came across this cute variation on a
hand print turkey and decided it was perfect entertainment for my little turkeys.
Materials:
- paper plate
- marker
- dried beans or pasta
- white glue (optional)
Directions:
- Trace your child's hand onto a paper plate. If desired, add a beak, wattle, and legs to the turkey. Older kids can do this step themselves.
- Give your child some dried beans or pasta. We used kidney beans, navy beans, black beans, pinto beans, split peas, and spiral pasta. Popcorn kernels are another option. I put each kind of bean into its own bowl, but you could mix them all together if you prefer.
- Kids can either decorate their turkey and glue down their design to make it permanent, or they can arrange and re-arrange the turkey as many times as they want, skipping the glue.
