Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Hands-down, the first step is always my son's favorite. He dips his hand into brown paint and smears it around with a paintbrush to make sure that every inch is coated.
Step 2
Then he carefully presses his hand down onto the paper. To help ensure that the handprint transfers well, I gently press down on each of his fingers too.
Step 3
After the paint has dried, my son glues a googly eye on top of his thumbprint...
Step 4
... and an orange beak for the turkey's nose and a red wattle under its chin.
Final result!
And for a finishing touch, I carefully add the words, "I'm thankful for you!" to the front. Our homemade cards are complete and ready to be personalized.
