Instructions:
- Fold red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple pieces of construction paper into fourths.
- Trace your child's hand on each color of the rainbow down towards the bottom.
- Cut out the hands.
- Draw Tom the Turkey on the brown paper and cut him out.
- Draw slightly bigger eyes on the white paper, and smaller pupils for the eyes on the black paper. Cut them out.
- Draw Tom's feet on orange paper and cut them out.
- Assemble each Tom Turkey by fanning out the colors as his plumes behind him, and have the child glue them to his toushie.
- Cut out a heart shape from a piece of construction paper folded in fourths, and glue it to the back of Tom, covering the back of the hands. I think this looks cute as his back "tail feathers" and kind of acts as his bum.
- On the heart, write who or what they are thankful for - we liked to write names like Grandparents, or Cousins, or Godparents that related to who we were gifting them to.
- Don't forget to add your child's name, their age, and the year they made them so you can watch their little hands grow over the years.
