Keep the kids busy making table place cards while
you’re cooking Thanksgiving dinner. This craft is easy enough for even
preschoolers. As a matter of fact, it’s a preschool oldie but goodie craft
project with a bit of a twist.
Materials (for
each place card):
8-1/2” x 11” card stock, pencil, ruler, crayons or
colored markers, 5mm wiggle eye (optional), black marker (optional), tacky glue,
tape
Draw a line across the long end of the copy paper 1”
from bottom edge.
Place hand in center of copy paper with wrist along
pencil line. Trace hand.
With marker or dark crayon, write a name across the
palm. Color the turkey. Your kids will know exactly how, but for those of you
who don’t remember your preschool days, the palm of the hand is the turkey’s
body, the thumb is the neck and head, and the four fingers are turkey feathers.
Add a yellow triangle for the beak and a red inverted heart for the wattle.
Glue a wiggle eye to the head or draw an eye.
Cut out along pencil lines.
Fold the short ends of the 1” strip to the back of
the turkey. Tape the ends together, overlap 1”.
