1st turkey – I know this one looks a little funny, but it was done by my daughter when she was only 16 months old.  We made our own patterns for this one.  We just drew the turkey body, cut out some feathers, and that little red gobbler thing under the turkey’s chin.  What is that thing called anyway?

2nd turkey – This one is made by tracing the child’s feet for the turkey body.  You just trace their foot once onto brown construction paper, double the paper and cut it out so that you’ll have two feet.  Then you trace their hand onto different colors of construction paper.  I double those up too so that I only have to cut out four hands.

Last picture – This pumpkin patch was done using the children’s hands.  You put orange paint on their knuckles and press their knuckles down on the paper.  Then you use their pointer finger for the pumpkin stem.  After it dried, I added hand drawn vines.

Sorry I don’t post as many children’s activities as I used to.  My children’s activities are now posted at my other website, Little Fun; Little Learning. 

Enjoy!

P.S.  Please include links to your children’s craft below.  Or you can write out the instructions in the comments.  I’m always looking for new activities.
