Gobble Gobble my dear crafty friends!

Yes – it’s only August on the calendar BUT it’s NEVER too early to start thinking about those Thanksgiving crafts! And YES – I’m kick starting the fun {right now} with our Thumbprint Turkey Kid Craft Idea and it’s just as easy as my past kid friendly tutorials!

I even made a FREE gender-friendly printable template to go along with this craft, so all you need to do is download, print and craft away with colorful thumbprint “feathers” to bring him to life. No need to think out designs or wonder “what the heck did I just draw?” We make it easy just for you!

Now let’s grab our craft supplies, check out the tutorial below and make up this turkey beauty – shall we?

Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Thumbprint Turkey Craft Supplies:

* FREE Turkey Printable {Download Template HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Various Colors of Ink Pads {I used red, orange & green}
* Baby Wipes {for cleaning fingers}
optional – other embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First download and print the turkey body template on some white cardstock. You will want ONE PRINTABLE per craft/kid.
* Now get your ink pads and baby wipes ready.
* Have children press their thumb on the ink pad, then press it along the lines of the printable.
* Repeat until it looks like feathers on the turkey.
* Have children use a baby wipe to clean their finger.
* If desired, add other embellishments like sequins, glitter etc to make the thumbprint turkey your own!
* Then display your child’s thumbprint turkey masterpiece proudly for everyone to see!
