Handprint Turkey Napkin Ring

Step  1.

Gather your supplies. 

Step  2.

Apply Finger Paint onto your child’s hand and press the hand onto a piece of card stock. Tip: Make sure to press down on each finger and palm to get a good impression.

Step  3.

Once the handprint it dry, you will need to cut out the handprint. For preschool age children, it might be helpful for an adult to draw a line around the turkey shape for the child to follow.  This is a helpful technique to practice hand/eye coordination.

Step  4.

Using scissors cut out the shape drawn.

Step  5.

Glue 1 wiggly eye onto the thumb of the handprint. This will be the turkey’s head.

Step  6.

Cut a small triangle out of a piece of yellow construction paper and glue onto the turkey’s head as a beak.

Step  7.

Glue the colored feathers to the fingers of the handprint.

Tip: if the feathers are too long for this area, trim with scissors before gluing. You have made a handprint turkey!

Step  8.

Cut a cardboard paper roll into a 2 or 3 inch section (depending on the size of the handprint turkey). Glue the paper roll to the back of the handprint turkey as shown.

Step  9.

On Thanksgiving, roll your napkin into a tube shape and slip inside paper roll. Place a setting at each seat and allow guests to enjoy these lovely Handprint Turkey Napkin Rings!
