Instructions:
Fold a piece of cardstock in half to form a card. Paint the child's palm and thumb brown and the other fingers different colors; red, yellow, orange, etc. Press hand on the paper to make a hand print turkey. Let it dry.

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!
