Turkey Ornament Craft Idea For Kids

Who says ornaments are ONLY for Christmas?! Not me – that’s for sure!!!

So that’s why I was recently inspired to make this Handprint Turkey Ornament with my son and share it with all my lovely readers, right here on Glued To My Crafts!!!

Turkey Ornament Craft Idea For Kids

Turkey Keepsake Ornament Craft Idea For Thanksgiving

I’m challenging YOU to stock up on those plastic ornaments you see in the craft store this time of year because today’s DIY is a MUST-DO with the kids this Thanksgiving season! Whether you make one or a ton {like in a large setting such as a classroom party activity} it’s really EASY to pull together!! Not to mention, it’s a great piece to keep year after year!

To complete this turkey ornament craft, all you need to do is gather up a few simple materials {listed below} and let your child’s creative side shine this season! Our fall-inspired project tutorial will show you the “how to” below!

Then hang your turkey bulb ornament in your home for everyone to see OR gift it away! I can envision that these would be great on a Thanksgiving tables-cape as well! The possibilities are honestly endless and I hope I had a “hand” in inspiring the craftiness within you & your child!

So I’ll leave you to it! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures afterwards of your child’s completed plastic turkey ornament, on our Facebook page wall, so we can admire it from afar today! I seriously can’t wait to see how awesome it turns out! #gluedtomycrafts
