Thanksgiving Wood Turkey Frame Craft Idea For Kids
Gobble gobble, my crafty friends! Can you believe Thanksgiving is THIS week? I’m still trying to wrap my head around how fast this last month went. Seriously! Where did the time go?!
Regardless of how fast this month is going, I just hope you enjoy the next few days with friends & family and of course – tons of food!
But on that note, if you are by chance still looking for a few ways to keep the kids busy this upcoming break – I have the perfect Thanksgiving craft tutorial for you today!
This Turkey Handprint Frame is relatively easy to put together AND it can hold some sweet pictures of your family gatherings this week. All this craft is, is a cheap $1 wood frame from Michaels, some paint and of course, handprint cutouts for the turkey feathers, made out of cardstock paper.
Super inexpensive but a great keepsake for years to come! Find ALL the details you need to know, in the full wood turkey picture frame tutorial below!
Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your wooden frame with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see it! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Supplies:
- Wood Square Frame
- Yellow Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Small Paper Plate
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Pencil or Pen
- Cardstock Paper {Red, Orange and Brown}
- School Glue

Directions:
- First have your child paint their frame entirely yellow. Simply squirt some paint on a paper plate and hand over the paint brush.
- When they are done painting, set aside the painted frame to let it dry completely.
- Next, pick a hand – any hand!
- Trace your child’s hand on some colored cardstock. We did three handprints out of a light tan colored cardstock.
- Cut out the traced design and decorate them to make them stand out {we added loose craft feathers and glitter on each one of ours.}
- With the remaining cardstock sheets, cut out some other turkey embellishments {think large circular eyes, triangle nose, waddle etc}
- To finish it off the turkey wood picture frame, hot glue the decorated handprints {feathers} on the back/top of the painted frame.
- Then hot glue the remaining paper turkey embellishments to the front of the frame to complete the face.
- Allow everything to dry completely.
- Then display proudly with your favorite picture inside!
- That’s it! Don’t forget to share pictures with us! #gluedtomycrafts
