Handmade Thanksgiving Gift

by Angela Thayer 5 Comments

I really love Thanksgiving….such a beautiful time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives. I have so much to be thankful for, but the things I’m most grateful for is my family, good health, and Savior. What are you thankful for?

We read this book, The Perfect Thanksgiving. It’s a cute book about comparing 2 different family’s Thanksgiving and in the end realizing that as long as families love each other, it’s a perfect Thanksgiving at everyone’s house. 

We are headed up north to visit my grandma. As a thank you for her hospitality, I wanted to give her something. She loves homemade items and I thought Troy would love giving her something he made, so we came up with this handmade Thanksgiving gift. First, we painted some sheets of card stock. It was fun for him since he could be messy and it didn’t matter. Then we traced my kiddos’ hands.

 Then I cut out their hands and added eyes, beak and turkey gobbler. Next, I typed out this poem and added the little “turkeys” to the bottom. Here’s how it turned out…

To get the PDF copy of the poem, click on ThanksgivingThankYou. This will be fun for my grandma to look at…in fact I think I want to make another one so I can remember those adorable little hands in a few years!

    Thanks so much for the printable. This is a sweet idea. I’m going to have each of the family members put their thumbprint on the page and sign it. There’s a lot of us (too many to do the hand prints) at my parents house and I think my mom will really get a kick out of it. Thanks for the inspiration.
