I’m going to share a tried and true Thanksgiving keepsake that has been tested on a group of kids in family child care.<\/p>\n

It was a huge hit and the end result has an adorable factor that is off the charts.<\/p>\n

The finished product could even be something a child could give to whomever is hosting their Thanksgiving Dinner.<\/p>\n

Here is the first one! The other one is coming up in our next Thanksgiving Activity post!<\/p>\n

This Thanksgiving keepsake is going to challenge you to go beyond the traditional turkey hand print.<\/h3>\n

Notice I didn’t say “forgo”, but rather “go beyond”.<\/p>\n

Hand print turkeys make a sweet keepsake!<\/p>\n

I loved pulling kids aside to help them paint their little fingers and palms to look like a turkey.<\/p>\n

The ticklish ones would giggle, while the others would chat about where they are going for Thanksgiving and direct me by choosing their color they wanted me to paint the turkey’s feathers (aka their fingers).<\/p>\n

It was also a great time to work on color recognition one-on-one.<\/p>\n
