Gobble Gobble! This hand and footprint Turkey Kids Craft is so easy and so fun to look back on year after year! For the perfect Thanksgiving kids’ activity, you need basic craft supplies and a small hand and foot!
My kids love to craft and this little project is so simple that they can basically do it themselves! I, of course, will help my 2 year old but the bigger boys got this all on their own.
It’s really fun pulling these out of the fall décor bin each year and letting them compare their hand and foot prints with those of the past years! We then line these cute guys up and down our hallway!

How to Make a Hand and Footprint Turkey Kid’s Craft:
Start by having your kids trace their foot or shoe on the brown paper to create the body of the turkey. Help them line up their foot if you’d like to get more than 1 body out of the paper otherwise, they trace it right in the middle! Carefully cut that out! There is your turkey body.
Next, have them trace and cut out their handprints using several different colors of paper. These handprints will be used for the feathers for the turkey! (see what I said about tracing it in the middle of the paper, lol?!)
Using the glue stick, glue the feathers (handprints) on the back of the body. You an leave it as is from here or you can add a face, beak and gobbler with googley eyes and some orange and red paper scraps!
Most importantly, have them sign the back and add the year, so you can look back each year and compare the size of their hands and feet as they grow!
