DIY Thumbprint Fish Cards - Swimming By To Say

Grab those ink pads because these friendly little fish cards will be swimming by soon to say hello to all your loved ones!

Craft Supplies:

  • Washable Ink Pads
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Cardstock Paper Cards
  • Craft Scissors
  • Adhesive
  • Colored Sharpie Markers
  • Baby Wipes
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • Use my pictures above for examples but basically you want to make some thumbprints on a piece of white cardstock {several in a staggered line so they aren’t on top of each other.}
  • Use the baby wipes to remove excess ink from your fingers.
  • After cleaning your fingers, grab your markers and draw on various embellishments to give each thumbprint the look of fish. Think fins and heart shaped mouths.
  • When done decorating, trim down your paper piece to add it to a card front for easy mailing!!!
  • Use markers or scrapbook stickers to add phrases like “swimming by to say” or “splashing you with lots of love” to the front of the card, to add a “punny” element to your handmade piece!
  • Then get ready to gift and/or mail away your masterpieces!
  • Repeat over and over again!!!

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!
