Here’s an alternative activity that uses the typical kids’ handprint turkey.  It’s very easy to make and you can fill it with a snack when you’re done!  Thank you to Sunday School Center for the pattern!

Materials:

• construction paper/colored card stock (orange, yellow, green, red)
• stapler
• orange paper cups
• scissors
• crayon/marker/pencil

Directions:

1.Print turkey head on colored card stock or construction paper.  Cut out.  (Go here to download the Thanksgiving Lesson for CHILDREN, which contains the turkey head pattern.)

2. Trace around child’s hand on the construction paper.  Draw a line across the bottom of the wrist.  Cut out.

3. Staple turkey head to front of cup and hand “feathers” to the back.

4. Now you can fill it with treats!
