{Gobble Gobble!} Yes – it’s only August BUT it’s NEVER too early to start thinking about those Thanksgiving crafts!!! And YES – I’m kick starting the fun this year with our Thumbprint Turkey Kid Craft Idea and it’s just as easy as my past 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. No need to think out designs or wonder “what the heck did I just draw?”

Now let’s grab our craft supplies and make up this beauty – shall we? Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Supplies:

* FREE 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 template on some white cardstock. You will want ONE PRINTABLE per craft/kid.
* Now get your ink pads 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 masterpiece proudly for everyone to see!
