Paper Crafting: Thanksgiving Turkeys

Thanksgiving Paper Crafting

Whether you need something to do with the kids or some inspiration for your next print project, here’s a hands-on activity that literally uses your hand shape. An old-y but a good-y, we’ve also revamped the classic handprint turkey to be a little more dimensional and interactive.

Below are some resources to aid you in making either a card or puppet Thanksgiving Turkey.

  1. A template (There’s two!)
  2. Printer
  3. Markers, colored pencils, or crayons
  4. Scissors
  5. Glue or tape

This template is printed double-sided, flipped on the short edge.

Turkey Card Instructions

  • Print off and color the template. (Download above.)
  • Trace each of your hands and color them in.
  • Cut out the hands and the template.
  • Create the bifold card by folding the two circles together on the pink dashed line.
  • Turn the card over and glue the hands to the back.
  • Flip turkey back over and fold the neck on the pink dashed lines so that it has some bounce/dimension to it.
  • Open the card and write a note to someone you are thankful for!

Turkey Finger Puppet Instructions

  • Print off and color the template. (Download above.)
  • Trace each of your hands and color them in.
  • Cut out the hands and the template. When cutting out the hands, you can cut off the bottom of them so they don’t cover up the finger holes. (Demonstrated at 1:50 in the video)
  • Cut out the two circles at the bottom of turkey for your fingers.
  • Glue the hands to the back of the turkey body.
  • Fold the neck on the two dashed pink lines to create dimension.
  • Put your fingers through the holes and gobble, gobble wherever you go!
