Craft: Thanksgiving Cards

Sunday is slowly turning into my craft day now that we are home most Sunday mornings. I wanted to do a Thanksgiving craft as the season is slowly sliding into Christmas. Ironically I was setting everything up as I listened to Christmas music. I've wanted to make hand print turkeys with Nate, so that was our goal today. After they all dry I will be transforming them into cards to send to our family and friends. He loved making them and actually cooperated and listened to me. We didn't get paint anywhere than on his hand and the paper! Quite a feat with an active 2 year old. I used only things that I had in the house, which made for a free project. All I need to purchase are a couple of stamps. I won't show the final product for another week since I'm sending it to people who actually read this, but here is some of the process.

Supplies:

• Orange Card Stock
• Yellow Envelopes
• White Card Stock
• Red Card Stock
• Decorative Scissors
• 3 Leftover cups from kids meals to put paint in
• 3 Paint Brushes
• Yellow, Orange, & Brown Paint
• Craft Glue
• Nate's Hand
• Red Sharpie
