I love making any project that I can add my kids’ handprint to. It’s fun to pull these little keepsakes out every year and remember just how tiny they once were.![035 035](http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gVAI09_QPQc/TsauWX4PTSI/AAAAAAAAGkA/N8EI4Q7EBMw/035_thumb%25255B14%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)

This one is super easy and made mostly with recycled materials.
1. Stella painted a toilet paper roll with some brown paint (and did a little tasting as well). ![022 022](http://lh4.ggpht.com/-z_48mG9b__0/TsauXu53C1I/AAAAAAAAGkQ/gUEuxkdXFvM/022_thumb%25255B16%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)
2. Then, using a brown paper bag, Stella and I printed several handprints with different colors of paint. (After all that hard work, Stella took a nice long nap!)

3. While sleeping beauty got some rest, I added the feathers and face to her turkey. First, I fanned out the handprints and glue them together.

Then I glued on the body of the turkey (the toilet paper roll).

And finally, I added some google eyes and a beak.
