Thumbprint Mermaid Tail Craft Supplies:

* Free Mermaid Template Printable {Download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Green Ink Pads {or whatever color you like!}
* Baby Wipes
optional – glitter, bows etc.

Directions:

* First download and print the mermaid tail template on white cardstock. You only need ONE print per mermaid craft. Feel free to print as many as you like but please only use our file for personal use only.
* Next have children press their thumb on the green ink pad and then press it down, several times, on the tail of the mermaid. This will give the look of “scales” on the tail.
* Clean off excess ink from fingers with a few baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink.
* Once done cleaning off the fingers, follow that up by adding other embellishments you see fit on your mermaid design {like bows/glitter on the bra of the mermaid}
* Then display/gift away your thumbprint mermaid tail craft piece proudly!
* Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper mermaid creations on our Facebook page to admire from a far!
