A great family friendly activity the kids will love. These adorable popcorn turkey hands will make a fun decor for your Thanksgiving feast and the kids will be thrilled to be able to contribute!
Although I am calling it a recipe – it is not “really” a recipe since no cooking is involved, I guess you can say it is more of a how-to project. This turkey craft is great for parties too – so if you are a teacher – or are hosting a Thanksgiving inspired event for the kids, these will be a great way to keep them busy and have some fun.
