I have a few crafts I’m thinking about doing next week in the run up to Thanksgiving, but when I saw this hands and feet turkey<\/a>, I just couldn’t resist it. \u00a0I realize it is just like every construction paper turkey you’ve ever seen, but I think it was the clever marketing of it that got me. \u00a0Not only are the feathers made of actual-size little person hands, but the body is made by tracing two little feet (with shoes on) as well. \u00a0As soon as I started picturing an annual tradition of pulling out last year’s turkeys to see how much our hands and feet (and family, for that matter!) have grown since last Thanksgiving, I was totally hooked. \u00a0(Follow the link above for directions, but it’s really pretty self-explanatory.)<\/p>\n

Pippa was actually not that interested, but Romilly was up for having her sweet little hands traced as many times as I would do it, and she loves her a glue stick, so she was happy. \u00a0After the little ones were napping, Pippa decided that finishing her turkey might be okay, and meanwhile I made one of Bea’s hands and feet (note: I traced one hand once while she was pinned in her high chair after lunch and cheated on the rest, and I didn’t trace her foot at all, just her shoe. \u00a0Sixteen-month-olds? \u00a0Not that into crafts.)<\/p>\n

I do think they’re the cutest, don’t you? \u00a0Now the question is: where on earth am I going to put them so that I will be able to produce them effortlessly next year for size comparison?<\/p>\n
