Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
A Very Special Turkey
white sheet of paper
paint
crayons
construction paper
various colors
Paint each child's palm and thumb with brown paint, then paint the other four fingers with whatever color they choose -these are the feathers. Place their hand paint down on the white sheet of paper that has this poem already printed on it: This isn't just a turkey As anyone can see This very special turkey Was made by hand by me! Have them sign the bottom. The next day, they can add the turkey's features with crayons and choose a color of construction paper to mount it on. Cute gift for the parents!
