Thumbprint Christmas Cards

This easy kid craft is perfect for the holidays! Just use your thumbprint to create a fun and festive card.

Craft Supplies:

  • Washable Ink Pads
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Cardstock Cards
  • Paper Scissors
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Adhesive
  • Tiny Wiggle Eyes
  • Colored Markers
  • Baby Wipes
  • Christmas Embellishments

Directions:

  • Use my pictures above for an example but basically you want to make a few basic thumbprints on a piece of white cardstock and follow that up by drawing on embellishments to give them life.
  • Then you trim down/add your pieces to a card front for easy mailing!!! We did reindeers, Christmas trees and lights but you can also do snowmen, santas and/or ornaments as well. For a reindeer you make brown thumbprints, for trees use green and for light-bulbs you can use any color you like!
