Turkey Hand-print Gift Bags {Thoughtful Thursday}

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I am Thankful for YOU!

Last week I told you that we make a fun fall themed snack mix for our neighbors. This week I'm going to show you how we made the quick & easy turkey hand-print gift bags we loaded the snack mix into for delivery.

Supplies

  • brown paper lunch size bag {1 for each child}
  • acrylic paint {we used green, blue, red, & yellow}
  • small cup of water
  • small paint brush(es)

How-to Trace & Paint
{my 3 & 4-year-old}

  • Put on paint aprons, strip down kids, or just go for it!
  • Lay your child's hand down & trace it with a pencil then retrace it with a marker {avoiding the marker on the kids hand} and then add the legs, eyes, beck, & gobbler
  • Squire a small bit of each desired paint color onto a paper plate and a small cup of water
  • Let your child paint the "turkey" {attempting to stay in the lines} with a paint brush {rinsing in water}
  • Let dry completely before adding snacks for delivery

How-to just Paint the hand
{my 2-year-old}

  • Put on paint aprons, strip down kids, or just go for it!
  • Squire a small bit of each desired paint color onto a paper plate
  • Hold your child's hand out flat & paint the fingers {I did skipped the brown on palm & thumb since the bag was already brown. Then various colors on fingers}: only do ONE hand at a time
  • Take your child to the sink and quickly wash the hand off well before they touch everything & before you do the other hand.
  • Let dry completely before adding snacks for delivery

I know this isn't an original, so how do YOU do Turkey Hand-Prints?
