PAPER PLATE HAND TURKEYS
You will need:
Paper Plates
Pencil
Scissors
Markers/Crayons/Colored Pencils
(Optional: leaves, acorns, goofily eyes and glue)
For each turkey, you need one paper plate. Place your hand in the center of the
paper plate, spread out so your fingers are separated. Trace your hand with a
pencil. If you need help doing this, ask a parent or older sibling to trace.
Carefully cut out the hand on the plate. The thumb is the head of the turkey and
the fingers are its feathers.
Use markers, crayons or colored pencils to color your turkey. Be sure to include
eyes on your thumb so your turkey can see.
If you're feeling very creative, use leaves or acorns on the fingers for
feathers and paste goofily eyes on the turkey. You may need to have two plates
for that to support everything.
Put your turkey on display on the fridge so everyone in the family can see what
you made!
You can also use this idea to make waste plates for thanksgiving dinner. After you make the outline, don't cut it out, rather color it inside. You can also stick the cut outs you have made inside a plate to turn them in thanksgiving waste dinner plates.
