Thumbprint Love Bug Mason Jar Cards

These adorable thumbprint love bug mason jar cards are the perfect craft ideas for kids! They’re easy to make and so much fun to give as gifts!

Card Supplies:

Directions:

  • First download the link listed in the supply list and print the mason jar card template on white cardstock. One printable makes FOUR cards at a time.
  • Use a paper trimmer to trim out each section and make FOUR cards total.
  • Adhere each cut out piece to a single cardstock card front.
  • Next open your ink pad up.
  • Have children place their thumb on the ink pad, then in the center of the mason jar design.
  • Repeat the thumbprint step on each card.
  • Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of fingers before washing hands completely at the sink.
  • Once done, they can draw on their embellishments with various markers to bring their thumbprint love bug to life.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit. I highly encourage small sticker embellishments on the antennas!
  • Then the last step is to sign their name on the front of the card and write a sweet message inside before they gift it away!

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!
