Turkey Hand Family

There's nothing sweeter than a handprint craft and I think handprint turkeys are the cutest!  This year we started what I hope to be a new tradition and had our entire family of 5 make a handprint turkey.  The boys were extra motivated since daddy was doing it too!  Buddy and Mikey helped paint our hands - brown for the palm and thumb and red, green, orange and yellow for each finger.  It started a great talk about COLORS again as well as naming each finger (thumb, pointer, middle, ring, pinkie) - expanding on BODY PART VOCABULARY. 

This is a sweet song that goes along with finger play and gives you a chance to think of some other foods you eat on Thanksgiving.  Naming things that belong in a CATEGORY (such as Thanksgiving Dinner Foods) is a great way to improve your little one's speech and language skills and is appropriate for all ages!

Sung to the tune of "Where Is Thumbkin?"

We eat turkey we eat turkey Yum, yum, yum Yum, yum, yum Always on Thanksgiving Always on Thanksgiving Yum, yum, yum Yum, yum, yum (Add other foods we eat at Thanksgiving)

Hope this turkey craft makes a sweet addition to your Thanksgiving celebrations!

Love & Language,
