Repeat {and alternate} between each empty space of the heart design.
When done adding the fingerprints, clean off your fingers with a baby wipe and a quick trip to the sink.
To finish off the fingerprint candy cane craft, add on various small stickers and help your child write their name in the provided blank spot.
