Follow these instructions to make the Finger Print Cards.
For smaller cards, cut construction paper in half. For larger cards, leave as
is. Fold construction paper in half to create a card.
Flower Card
|
- Use acrylic craft paints to paint a child’s pointing
finger. Use this for the center dot of each flower. We used
pink, blue and purple for our centers.
- To make the petals, paint the thumb first, apply it to
the paper. Next paint the pointing finger and apply it to
the paper. Repeat this process for each finger so that there
is a different finger for each petal. Repeat for each
flower.
- Use a small paint brush to add the stem, then use
child’s thumb to create the leaves.

Heart Card
|
- To make the heart card, begin by very lightly drawing a simple
heart onto the construction paper.
- Next, squirt out some paint onto newspaper or paper plate. Have
child dip the tips of their fingers into the paint and press onto
construction paper following the heart shape. Use a contrasting
color to fill in the heart.
- Use crayon or marker to write “Happy Mother’s Day” on the card.

Love Card
|
-
For the “Love” card, have child hold their right
hand in the shape of an “L”. Be sure it is their right hand and
not the left. Paint the “L” shape portion of their hand and help
them to press it onto the paper.
-
Have the child make an “O” shape with their
hand, paint it, then press to the paper.
-
Paint the child’s pointing and middle finger for
the “V” and press onto the paper.
-
Using the child’s pointing finger, paint then
press to the paper for the long side of the “E”. Paint the top
part of their pointing finger to add the horizontal lines of the
“E."
-
Use a crayon or marker to write “Mom is” above
the word “Love."

| Helpful Hints |
Have a damp washcloth handy to wipe off excess paint
from child’s hands when changing colors. When finished with this
project, have child wash hands with soap and water.
Get creative and use whatever colors you like. Just
remember to use colors that contrast with your construction paper to
be sure it shows up well.
You may want to have the child write their personal
message inside the card before starting the paint process. It can be
done afterward, but if done before there’s no risk of accidentally
messing up these cute creations.
