Bugs Fingerprint Art ~ Free Printable

Blog, Craft Ideas, DIY, Kids Printables, Printables

Do your kids like fingerprint crafts? I am sharing the Bugs Fingerprint Art printable guide I created for my boys with you!

Fingerprint art is one of my kids favorite art projects and I like too because it is usually pretty easy to set up and clean up. Lately, my boys love anything bug related and wanted me to show them different bugs to make. Because of their love for fingerprint art and bugs I created a page with several different bugs for them to use as a guide so they can reference while creating their fingerprint bugs on their own. Of course, I’m also sharing these fun bug fingerprint art ideas with you as a free printable guide!

Use this as a guide for your child to look at or let them fingerprint right onto the guide page. To get started you will need paper, a fine tipped marker and colorful stamping inks or finger paint. My boys really love this guide; you can see in the picture above my son did a great job and I love the jar he added to his picture! Another idea is print the guide and display it in your kids room or play room! I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps your little ones create their very own fingerprint bugs!

Kids Finger Paint Card Ideas

Blog, Craft Ideas, DIY

For my sister’s birthday I had my boys and nieces make her special homemade cards. Handprint and footprints make any greeting card extra special and are great keepsakes. We made 4 cards: a handprint fish, handprint flower, footprint butterfly, and a fingerprint heart.

These finger paint cards are great for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or any holiday or celebration.

Card-stock paper works best for homemade greeting cards and the finger paint takes a couple hours to dry. On the fish card I painted the ocean scene in the background, I added a stem and leaf to the flower, drew on the side view of a butterfly’s body with a black marker and I drew a heart for my son and he filled it in with finger paint.

These finger paint cards are very easy to make, kids love making them and the receiver will love them!

Easy Minecraft Creeper Head Valentine’s Day Box and List of Free Valentines Printables

Blog, Craft Ideas, DIY, Holiday Printables, Kids Printables, Printables, School & Teacher Gifts Printables, Valentine's Day

This year my son wanted a Minecraft Creeper Valentine’s Day Box for his class party. I did not want to paint or cut out hundreds of different colored squares. I’m pretty sure painting or gluing that many squares would drive me crazy! So to save my sanity I made the box using a free printout for a DIY Minecraft Creeper costume along with free Minecraft Valentines printable. It took me less than 30 minutes to make this box and it looks “AWESOME!!!” according to my boys. If you want to make a Creeper Head box, this is the easy way. If you really enjoy painting or cutting and gluing hundreds of little squares, then go right ahead but for me, I’m sticking with the printouts.

Supplies Needed:

Square or almost square box. (mine has squarish and about 10 inches tall)
Paper;
Printer
Tape (I used mailing tape)
Scissors

Directions:

Tape your box shut if needed and cut a nice size slot on the top. (I made mine large enough for my son’s arm to fit in.)
From STLMotherhood download and print the printable creeper mask in color.
- Cut the white borders off the printout and taped them together like really expensive wrapping paper.
- You’ll tape together the face and FOUR sides. (And overlap the paper–I overlapped by a full square.)
- OR Cut the whtie borders and tape to each side of the box, one side at a time, overlap by a full square, then tape and repeat.
- For the top with the slot I had to cut and piece. But It still looked good because of the colored squares.
- I printed 1 extra sheet (page 2) to cover the bottom.
From HaleGrafx download and print Free Printable Minecraft Valentines in color.
- I used the Be MINECRAFT Valeninte on the top. I cut out the heart and words to fit.
- I taped the 3 other Valentines on the non-Creeper Face sides.
