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?
