Simply cut paper plates in half for the dinosaur/monster/turtle whatever you want to make bodies. For the next step you can use paint, stickers, or gems!

I cut out sponge shapes to dip in the paint, but my daughter enjoyed using the sides to paint with them more!

Have your child decorate the body of the animal you are creating, then let it dry!

Your child will LOVE doing these. Next time I’m going to have my daughter use a brush. Another time I will try stickers, gems, and construction paper shapes!

After the plates dry, cut out the head/feet/tails you would like from construction paper or card stock to glue onto your painted plate bodies.

Your child can glue them on and decide how many of each item they would like!

Their favorite part is yet to come…googly eyes!!!

You can NEVER have enough.

Handprint Turkey Craft

I don’t know about you, but my daughter LOVES to paint! She also loves to paint with her fingers! A turkey handprint is the perfect craft for Thanksgiving!

Materials:

  • paper
  • glue
  • finger paint
  • googly eyes
  • paint in assorted colors
  • paintbrush

First, get a blank piece of paper and tape it to the table so that it doesn’t move. Choose the paint colors (Madison did this). I squirted them out onto disposable coffee tops since I had a lot left from a party.

Next, paint your child’s palm and thumb and press them down on the paper. I made 2 on one paper so I could give one as a gift!

We chose a different color for each finger and painted each one and then pressed it down. These made colorful turkey feathers!

After letting it dry we added a beak, turkey gobbler and feet by drawing them on. However, you could also paint them.

Finally, we added the googly eye and our turkey was complete. A family keepsake to hang up each Thanksgiving!
