Fall Inspired Thumbprint Wheel Barrel - Kid Craft

Thumbprint Produce In Wheel Barrel Craft Idea

One of the many things you will see while you are visiting a farm this time of year, is a wheel barrel either full of pumpkins and/or apples. To me… it just screams FALL when you see one {especially if you are the one filling it up and pulling it along!}

If you want to pull together an art project inspired by this time of year, look no further because I think today’s Fall Inspired Thumbprint Wheel Barrel is THE craft to do right now. It’s super simple to recreate and rather inexpensive too! All you is our free wheel barrel printable, some ink pads and a brown Sharpie marker. That’s it!

It’s even super simple for the littlest ones in your home to recreate. Heck – adults will love it too so be sure to print one off for yourself as well! Just remember – there’s beauty in imperfection and not every thumbprint has to look the same either!

I could also easily see this idea being used as a family night craft. Have EVERYONE in the room add their thumbprint pumpkins and apples as a sweet keepsake to mark the occasion. Maybe you could even use this idea as a guest book idea for a wedding or a harvest party! Guests can add their thumbprint and then sign their name next to it, with a thin tip marker. So many ways so I’ll let you get to it!

Find all the details and the free printable below. Happy crafting my dear friends and please don’t forget to share pictures of your thumbprint apples and pumpkins in a wheel barrel craft with us! You can tag us on Facebook or use our special branded #gluedtomycrafts hashtag for us to see!
