Fingerprint Caterpillar Craft

These thumbprint caterpillars are so cute, and they’re easy to make too! Just grab some markers, ink pads and paper & you’ll be ready to go!

Card Supplies:

  • Caterpillar Card Printable – from box.com
  • Washable Ink Pads
  • Cardstock Paper/Cards
  • Craft Scissors
  • Glue Stick
  • Colored Markers
  • Baby Wipes
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First check out the link listed above in the supply list and print out the caterpillar card template on white cardstock paper. One printable makes FOUR cards at a time.
  • Use a paper trimmer to trim out each rectangle design.
  • Adhere each cut out piece to a single cardstock card front.
  • Next up you are going to color in the leaf design in each card.
  • Now open your ink pad up.
  • Place your thumb {or index finger} on the ink pad. You are going to make several fingerprints above/on the leaf design to make your “caterpillar” come to life.
  • Repeat the thumbprint step on each card.
  • Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of your fingers before washing your hands completely at the sink.
  • Next draw on some facial/antennas to one of the fingerprints, with a thin tip Sharpie marker.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then the last step is to write a quirky saying in the inside the card, that goes along with the “inching by to say…” saying that is on the front of the card. You can stick to a more genetic saying like “I love you” or go into more detail with what you write. Have fun with it!
  • Then gift away your Caterpillar Cards to the lucky receivers!
