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
