Painted Handprint Turkey Cards For Thanksgiving

Super EASY Handprint Turkey Cards For Kids To Make

You should all know that I’m a HUGE sucker for handmade cards and gifts. I really do enjoy sending them out for every holiday and occasion.

Thanksgiving is no exception to the rule and in my opinion, a must have – to remind people how blessed you are to have them in your life.

Now that Lil Man is getting older and family is so far away – family members really love getting cards that involve the little guy. I usually send out tons of pictures but also crafts that Lil Man has done are another thing I like to send out.

A Thanksgiving paper card idea is not only perfect for us to make {getting our craft time together} but it’s also great for family members because they get to see how much he has grown throughout the year.

So that is the main reason why we made these adorable Thanksgiving Cards recently. They have a theme of a turkey made from a painted handprint and are just plain cute. These cards have “gobble gobbled” their way into my heart and I hope yours as well!

Below you will find the FULL tutorial that will show you how to make a handprint turkey card with your child, within minutes. I really do hope you are inspired to recreate them today!

Happy crafting, my dear friends and please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s DIY paper Thanksgiving cards on our Facebook page for us to admire! It seriously makes my day when I see those images! #gluedtomycrafts
