    craft - Thumb Print Turkeys

    Cool.
    These cute thumb print turkeys make great
    place cards or note cards.
    You can use stamp pads or acrylic paint,
    whichever you have on hand. I used acrylic
    paint for mine.

    craft - Thumb Print Turkeys

    Approximate Time: About 30 minutes

    Supplies:
    yellow acrylic paint
    orange acrylic paint
    red acrylic paint
    brown acrylic paint
    wiggly eyes
    black marker
    white card stock
    paper plate
    paint brush

    Fold a piece of card stock to create a card
    (mine was about 3 x 4 inches).
    Use a paper plate as your paint pallet, and
    place a small amount of each color of paint onto the plate.
    Using a paint brush apply some yellow paint to your thumb
    or index finger.
    Stamp 1/2 a circle (or an upside down "U") of yellow for the turkey's tail.
    Below that, stamp with orange, overlapping a little on the yellow.
    Do the same with the red paint, overlapping on the orange.
    Use brown to stamp the turkey's body in the middle at the bottom.
    Allow to dry and glue wiggly eyes in place.
    Paint on a yellow beak on the brown body.
    Use a black marker to draw the feet below the body.
    If using for place cards, write each guest's name on the front of the card,
    or just write the child that made it's name.
