One Thankful Turkey

This morning Dylan and I did a little art project. Daddy was at work and we were just waiting on Grandma to get here, so why not get out the glue and scissors!!
Last year with my class we made some turkeys out of our feet and hand prints. I thought Dylan and I would do the same and then we could write about what he is thankful for!
The first step was to trace feet. Dylan thought it was pretty silly to be sitting on the table to trace feet!

Next he attempted to cut out his feet. He is left handed and I don't think I have the right scissors for him.
Next up...hand prints. I traced and cut these!

And finally the glue stick! I think this is the part he was looking forward to the most! Glue sticks are awesome, so much better than glue when it comes to kids.


And our finished turkey! Dylan told me things he was thankful for. The list is quite random. I promise if you didn't make the list he still loves you very much!!!

Dylan is thankful for...
mommy
daddy
Tobers (the dog)
glue sticks
coins
Cars poster (Disney Cars)
Aunt Sheryl
A lot of other people
Those are his words exactly. Well, except for the first one. He actually said, "I'm thankful for you mommy." That boy melts my heart about a million times a day!
When we were done he came up to me and said can we go make meat now. I guess his paper turkey isn't what he had in mind when I asked him if he wanted to make a turkey. So, I hope Grandpa Shaver is ready for a helper in the kitchen Thursday!!
