Turkey Toilet Roll Holder Craft – Ideal for Thanksgiving and Christmas

It is pretty hard not to notice that this week is Thanksgiving. Therefore, it seemed obvious that a Turkey Toilet Roll Holder Craft would be a good idea. Now we don’t do Thanks Giving in the UK but we do traditionally eat Turkeys on Christmas day too I thought it would be fitting to make a turkey with the children.

I do not know who first had this idea but I have seen it all over the internet and have some pinned on my Christmas Pinterest board. Crafts that involves holding memories of my children being small are really precious as they grow so quickly. In this case the size of their hands. This is a really sweet thing to do with them because if you put them away and make new ones the following year they can track how much they have grown!

How to Make the Turkey Toilet Roll Holder Craft

The Turkey toilet roll holder craft is as simple as it looks. This makes it ideal for young children but also fun for older ones. First simply get them to take an empty toilet roll holder and paint in brown. Next draw around their hands whilst the paint is drying. Then we cut the hand out on top of lots of layers of brown paper resulting in lots of brown hand shapes.

Once we had the brown hands we placed them on top of one another like a fan and then secured them together. This was then the tail and attached to the back of the painted toilet roll holder. We used some big googly eyes and some more of the brown paper for a beak. Finally we used some red tissue paper for its head hair and then another bit for the turkey’s wattle.
