Thanksgiving Poem Ideas and Inspiration

In November when leaves fall and skies turn gray,

We gather together on Thanksgiving Day.

To count our blessings, both big and small,

And share our love with one and all.




On this special day, we pause to say,

Thank you for family, in every way

. For friends, for food, and cozy cheer,

For moments shared throughout the year.




Now, let's create a card so bright,

To send warm wishes and spread delight.

Draw a picture or write something sweet,

To make someone's day, our mission complete!




Decorate your card with colors so bright,

Add stickers and glitter, make it just right.

Then share with someone you care about,

Let gratitude shine, without a doubt.




Thanksgiving's a time for love and grace,

A time to gather and embrace.

With this card, we send our love your way,

Happy Thanksgiving to you, we want to convey!"

Hand in hand, we gather 'round,

Our blessings in our hearts are found.

Each handprint here, a work of art,

Reflects the love that fills our heart.







Five Little Turkeys Poem

Five little turkeys by the door,

One waddled off, and then there were four.

Four little turkeys under a tree, One waddled off, and then there were three.

Three little turkeys with nothing to do, One waddled off, and then there were two.

Two little turkeys in the morning sun, One waddled off, and then there was one.

One little turkey better run away, For soon it will be Thanksgiving Day!

These are my little hands so small,

I use them to give thanks to all.

Each one a treasure, no need for guessing.

Family and friends, love that's true,

In this hand, so small and sweet,

A Thanksgiving memory we'll create.

With fingers and thumbs, we'll make our mark,

Gratitude and love, let's embark.






Turkey feathers, colorful and bright,

Each one a reason to feel just right.

For family, friends, and food so yummy,

We give thanks with hearts so giddy.

Here is my hand, and here is my thumb,

When they all come together, they make a turkey drum.

These are the feathers all fluffy and wide,

This is the tail that stands tall with pride.

With a gobble, gobble here, and a gobble, gobble there,

Thanksgiving turkey, we make quite a pair!






My hand is a turkey, big and round,

With colorful feathers that I have found.

Each finger a feather, so bright and neat,

Together they make a turkey so sweet.

On Thanksgiving Day, we'll gobble and cheer,

For this turkey handprint that brings us near.






Handprints on the paper, fingers spread wide,

Turn into a turkey, right before your eyes.

Feathers of orange, yellow, and red,

Make our turkey come alive,

it's what the kids said.

This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for all,

Our turkey handprints, both big and small.

Craft Idea: Thanksgiving Handprint Cards

Encourage the children to decorate the cards with their own drawings, heartfelt messages, or anything they feel represents gratitude and Thanksgiving. This craft not only allows them to be creative but also teaches the importance of expressing thanks and spreading love during the holiday season. Parents or caregivers can then help the kids send these cards to friends and family members as a thoughtful gesture.

Materials Needed:

  • Blank cards or piece of construction paper folded in half to make cards (You can use brown cardstock, white cardstock paper, piece of white paper).

  • Markers, crayons, or colored pencils or craft paints (Having a black marker for names will be really helpful)

  • Stamps and ink pads (optional)

  • Decorative stickers, glitter, or other craft supplies (optional)

  • Turkey Eyes

  • Washable paints - colorful fall colors like red paint, brown paint, white paint are great to have on hand.

Using handprints in art projects with kids for Thanksgiving is a creative and memorable way to celebrate the holiday. Handprint crafts can be turned into turkey feathers, trees, or other festive designs. Here are a few ideas for Thanksgiving handprint art projects:

  1. Handprint Turkeys:Create a classic handprint turkey by having each child make a colored handprint on a piece of paper. The palm becomes the turkey's body, and the fingers can be decorated as feathers. Add a beak, eye, and wattle to complete the turkey's face. You can also write what the child is thankful for on the feathers.

  2. Thanksgiving Tree:Draw a tree trunk and branches on a large piece of paper. Have each child make multiple handprints in different autumn colors (red, orange, yellow) and attach them to the branches to create leaves. Add small paper cutouts of fruits, acorns, and other fall items for added decoration.

  3. Handprint Place Cards:Make handprint place cards for the Thanksgiving table. Have each child create a handprint on a folded piece of cardstock paper. Write the guest's name on the handprint and decorate with fall-themed stickers or drawings. These can double as both decor and place markers.

  4. Thankful Wreath:Create a thankful wreath by cutting out a large circle from cardboard. Have the kids make handprints on different colored paper and cut them out. Write something they are thankful for on each handprint. Glue these handprints around the cardboard circle to make a wreath. Hang it up as a decoration.

  5. Handprint Cornucopia:Draw a cornucopia shape on a large piece of paper or poster board. Have the children make handprints in different shades of brown and cut them out. Arrange the handprints to create the shape of a cornucopia and add colorful paper fruits and vegetables inside.

  6. Handprint Tablecloth:Purchase a plain white tablecloth and fabric paint. Have each child dip their hand in paint and press it onto the tablecloth, creating a handprint border. Let it dry, and you'll have a personalized Thanksgiving tablecloth for your holiday meal.

  7. Handprint Turkey Placemats:Make handprint turkey placemats by having children create turkey handprints on large sheets of construction paper. Laminate the handprints or cover them with clear adhesive paper to make them durable and easy to clean. These can be used as placemats during Thanksgiving dinner.
