Arts & Craft Jam:Finger Stamp Place Cards

 

These handy little birds are great seat markers and a fun predinner activity. Have the younger set make them for the rest of the family, or let everyone try his hand -- or at least a finger -- at making his own.

 Materials:

• White card stock
• Nontoxic stamp pads in brown, red, orange, and yellow
• Glue
• Googly eyes
• Markers

Instructions:

1. For each bird, fold a piece of card stock as shown (ours were roughly 3 by 4 inches). Set out nontoxic stamp pads in brown, red, orange, and yellow. Using your thumb or index finger, stamp rings of yellow, orange, and red, and a brown turkey body.
2. Glue googly eyes in place, then use  markers to draw on a beak, snood, and feet and to write a guest's name below the bird.

Tip:

If your duty station has you far away from loved ones during the Thanksgiving holiday.  Turn this cute place cards into Thanksgiving cards for Grandma and Grandpa or a deployed parent.  Help your little one thing they are thankful for and mail this card in time for the holiday.
