- First print out, in color, the free Grandmas Are Like Moms Printable on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE print per craft. Feel free to print as many as you like but please only use our file for personal use or in a classroom setting.

- Repeat to make several “sprinkles” all over the cupcake’s frosting. Add as many or as little, as you like!
- Clean off your fingers with a baby wipe.
- To finish off the Thumbprint Extra Frosting and Sprinkles craft, write your name in the provided space on the printable.
- Go ahead and add other embellishments like stickers, glitter – whatever the heart desires, to make it one-of-a-kind!
- Then gift away proudly to the lucky receiver!

Customize It:
- Maybe thumbprints or fingerprints are not your child’s thing? Have them decorate our printable with some homemade puffy paint “frosting” and glitter OR just have them color in the free printable, however they like. Please feel free to expand on our idea!
- Here’s another idea for this crafty piece – Grab some large construction paper and turn your child’s cupcake print into a card by simply gluing it to a folded card front. Then pair it with some baking supplies or maybe a nice gift card to a local bakery, to expand on the theme!
