Thanksgiving Card from Kids
This is a great Thanksgiving card for kids to make for their loved ones, shared by Lady Scarlett.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper
  • Paint
  • Glue
  • Small Wiggle Eye
  • Pen or Pencil
Instructions:
Fold a piece of paper in half to form a card. Paint the child's hand and thumb brown and the other fingers different colors; red, yellow, green, orange, etc. Press hand on the paper to make a turkey print. After it dries, the children can use the thumb as the head and add a wiggle eye and color a red waddle. Add feet at the bottom.

Make a copy of this poem and let them glue it onto the inside of the card:

Dear (insert name here),
This isn't just a turkey, As anyone can see.
I made it with my hand, Which is a part of me.
It comes with lots of love, Especially to say,
I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving Day!
