How to Make the Handprint Turkey

Start by printing the printable onto card stock paper. I recommend a heavy-weight paper so the paper doesn’t curl.
Paint the child’s palm and thumb brown.
Paint the four other fingers red, yellow, green, and orange.

4. Stamp the hand in the blank space on the printable.

5. Wait for the handprint turkey to dry.

6. Once it is dry, add a googly eye or draw an eye with a black marker.

7. Draw an orange beak, 2 legs, and a red waddle.

8. Have the child sign their name at the bottom of the page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best washable paint?

I really like Crayola’s washable paint. It washes well off of their hands and the colors are vibrant.

Is the printable editable?

The printable is not editable, meaning you can’t change the text. If you would like something different, you can feel free to email me and request a change.

How long does this project take?

This is a quick art activity! The longest part is waiting for the paint to dry so you can add the face and legs. It takes around 3-5 minutes for painting the hand and stamping it on the page.
