Thumbprint Caterpillar Cards - Kid Craft

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

Card Supplies:

  • Washable Ink Pads {in any color your heart desires but make sure it’s washable!}
  • Cardstock Paper/Cardstock Cards
  • Craft Scissors

  • Colored Markers
  • Small Wiggle Eyes – two per caterpillar card
  • Small Scrapbook Stickers
  • Baby Wipe

Directions:

  • Use my pictures above for examples but basically you want to make some thumbprints on a piece of white cardstock {several in a line} draw on embellishments to give them the look of caterpillars and then trim down/add to a card front for easy mailing!!!
  • Use markers or scrapbook stickers to add phrases like “inching by to say” or “bugs and kisses!” to the front and to add a “punny” element!
  • Then get ready to gift and/or mail away your masterpieces!
  • Repeat over and over again!!!
