Hand and Footprint Turkey

WOW! What a crazy week. Sorry for being MIA, busy with life. I did get some different projects done but did not have time to get them up on the blog. I will have them all up this week.

This past week the boys and I made our Hand and Footprint Turkeys, we make these every year and I love seeing how each year their turkeys are getting bigger. This is a very easy and fun craft! All you need is brown, yellow, orange, and red construction paper, pencil, scissors and glue. I also use googly eyes for the Turkey but you could color yours on the turkey too.

Trace your child’s foot on the brown paper and cut out, trace both hands on the red, yellow and orange papers and cut out. Then glue the hands onto the back of the foot, the foot is the turkey’s body and the hands become the feathers. I then cut legs, a beak and a caruncle (the red part on the throat/under the beak) for the Turkey.


This is my younger son’s turkey, he had so much fun helping me make the turkey!


This is my older son’s turkey. I cannot believe how big his feet are!!!

I am thankful that I can do these fun activities with my boys!!!

Ghost Footprint Plaque

So last week I post my Ten on Tuesday list of Halloween projects I wanted to get done. I have finally completed one of them! I have 4 others I am in the middle of, I tend to be a bit ADD with my projects and cannot seem to just start and finish one. Instead I feel the need to start four or five at once and then slowly finish them.

I have finally finished the Ghost Footprint Plaque! My inspiration was found on pinterest!

Mine turned out a bit different but I really like it!


I had wanted to write Happy Halloween and the boys names in white paint but I am no good at free hand! Vinyl would have been cute but I do not have a cutter! Someday… So I just glued some chip board pieces I had left over from a project from last year. I did not do a full tutorial but the ghost footprints are easy, just paint with white paint and push down. Though some how it was not that simple with either of my boys!
