hand and foot turkey paintings

I love to decorate for every holiday! What better to use as decorations then things made by my babies.  Here is one of my favorite ones to make. I have made the single hand turkey two years in a row with Eloise. Each year I will have different size turkey to decorate with around the home. Since Kyler is to little to keep his hand open to paint each finger. We did the hand and foot turkey with him to give out to everyone for thanks giving from him for his first one. This is a cute and super easy fall craft.

What you will need:
 paint (green,red,yellow,orange,brown,white)
canvas or paper 
paint brushes
water
baby wipes(not needed) just I find it easier and quicker to use between colours rather then washing hands.

1) paint thumb and palm of hand with brown 

2) paint a finger yellow
