A classic Thanksgiving craft gets extra attention when turned into a placemat. Make handprint turkeys for each family member, and this easy and inexpensive craft becomes a keepsake to make year after year.

Supplies

One sheet brown construction paper
Other paper in different designs and colors
Decorative paper approximately 13" x 9" (placemat size)
Pencil or pen
Scissors
Glue stick

Step 1: Trace and cut out each person's handprint onto different color or design paper.

Step 2: Use a glue stick to arrange each handprint on the brown construction paper, and attach the entire piece to the placemat-size decorative paper. Add small circles for eyes and red paper wattle.

Step 3: Write each person's name under his or her handprint along with the year the placemat is created.

Step 4: To preserve the completed project, have the placemat laminated to prevent tearing and fading.
