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:

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!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
