Here we are a full week into our 31 days holiday adventure!  So many more things to share!  Be sure to follow on Facebook so you don’t miss anything!

Todays Project: Thanksgiving Turkey Tablecloth!

Supplies: Twin size white sheet, indian corn, yellow, brown, green, orange blue and red paint, cookie sheet, wax paper, paper plate and paint brushes

Start by laying the white twin sheet out on the floor.  Lay wax paper on the cookie sheet and pour yellow paint on top.  Roll the corn in the paint and then roll it down the sides and center of the sheet.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the yellow paint is dry, lay the sheet flat on a table.  Prepare the brown, green, orange, blue and red paint on a paper plate.  Paint the palm of a child’s hand brown and the fingers green, orange, blue and red for the feather colors.  Make handprints down the yellow painted center of the sheet.

My boys giggled as I painted their fingers. :-)  A fun project to do as a family and so special to look back in a few years and see how much the kids have grown!

After the “turkeys” were all stamped on the center of the tablecloth, we added little brown legs and a red wattle to each one.

Thanks for joining us today!  Keep up with our daily adventures on Facebook!

    Ooooo, I love this! It’s so cute, and I love that it’s something I could keep to use year after year. And reminisce about how tiny their hands used to be. :)

  5. So cute!! I love this idea. I’ve been trying to come up with a craft for my daughter and the cousins to do for Thanksgiving. I think this might be it!!
