This craft includes 5 different options for handprint art for your little that are all fall themed. It includes a turkey, an apple, a pumpkin, an acorn, and a leaf! The author notes that acrylic paint is a must if you’d like these to be keepsakes, as washable paint doesn’t always last through the years.

Three different Thanksgiving themed crafts! Although tbh I’m not sure the Native American one is PC…😅 You can make a judgement call on that one!
6. Turkey Painting (Mess Free!)
Materials needed:

I think for this one I would instead draw the turkey outline on a piece of paper and then tape the plastic overtop so we can keep the painting from our tiny artist! A great tummy time activity.
