Thanksgiving turkey handprint crafts are a simple way to add a little creativity to the holiday with the main character in play! I put together different ideas from famous crafters using paint, paper, poems, photos, candy corn, and other easy supplies.

There are different ways to make them depending on the look you want and the age of your kids. You can use paint, paper, feathers, poems, photos, or little decorations to make each one feel a bit different and more personal.
