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!
