Cinnamon Sugar Turkey Prints

 

My kids love [LOVE] to do crafts together.  They especially love when its a craft that they can complete mostly on their own.  I think its great when they can do a craft on their own but I also love crafts that don’t take twice as long to pick up as they did to make.  [Just being honest!]  When I was browsing through Imperial Sugar’s thanksgiving kids craft section, I saw found the perfect craft. It was easy do, super cute and easy to clean up. Plus I had all the supplies and two eager crafters ready to go.

 

I’m just going to come out and say it – hand and foot print art is the cutest thing ever. I love seeing my wittle the kids hands were at one point. When I set out the supplies for this easy homemade craft (glue, imperial sugar cinnamon sugar shaker, construction paper and cinnamon sticks) both kids got really excited.

 

After staring at the turkeys for awhile and not being able to pinpoint why they looked.. different,  I hung them up in the playroom and started to clean up. It wasn’t until I saw another turkey craft that I realized what was wrong with ours – they didn’t have any beaks!  Waddles – check.  Tail feathers – yup.  Two turkey feet – double check. Beak?  Nope!  And what makes this so funny [to me at least] is the fact that when we were making the cinnamon sugar handprints we were talking about the parts of the turkey and the sounds they make.  I guess you can’t win them all. 

 

 

For now we will just admire our beak-less birds hanging in the playroom.
