Get a handle on your Thanksgiving dishes with these kid-made potholders. Your child will be painting with their hands, so make sure those tiny little fingers are clean!

Materials

Directions

1

Smear brown paint on your palm and thumb. Dab the green, red, yellow, and orange paint on each finger (one color per finger).

2

Lay your hand on the center of the potholder and gently press each finger down. Lift your hand straight up.

3

Once the paint has dried, use the black fabric paint to draw turkey legs and make an eye. Then use the orange to make a beak and the wattles (the gobbly gobble piece under a turkey's neck).

4

Finally, use paint to write your name or anything else you want to say.
