This little turkey is thankful for you!
Start with this adorable thankful turkey design. Gather your supplies, and let kids choose the colors they’d like to use. We went with a classic brown, but any fall shades work great.

Place the hand upward from the turkey’s body, pressing down for an even print.
Carefully lift the hand to keep it neat, and add googly eyes once it’s fully dry if desired.
