Thumbprint Turkey Table Cards
Kids love contributing to the holidays and teaching them how to make table cards/greeting cards is a wonderful way to get them involved. These handmade fingerprint cards are kid-friendly, easy to make and are so cute you can even frame them!
Here's What You Need: 🦃
Cardstock, paint, googly eyes, construction paper, a gel pen or marker
Cut a piece of cardstock or construction paper into your desired size and fold it half.
Put yellow, red, orange and brown paint into separate bowls.
Take your middle or pointer finger, dip in yellow paint and make 7-8 prints.
Next do the same in orange paint and overlap the yellow a little bit.
Repeat with the red paint but you will only need to do 4-5 prints.
Dip your thumb in brown paint to the center and down of the feathers.
Let dry completely. (This part takes patience as they may have to sit for several hours)
Once dry, glue on 2 googly eyes and a tiny triangle beak cut from construction paper.
With a gel pen or marker draw the turkeys legs.
Get creative with anything else you would like to add!
Use them as table cards or write a note on them and mail them to family & friends!
Note: We let ours dry overnight as the paint was pretty thick in some spots.
Just like no one has the same fingerprints, each of these turkeys comes out truly unique. This Thanksgiving craft for kids is a wonderful way to add color to you table settings and is also a bright and cheerful handmade greeting card to receive in the mail.
