Every child loves to get their hands dirty (ok, just about all of them, I do know some who prefer to be clean, lol) and this is perfect for that. Not too messy, but fun.
For this project you will need the following:
stamp pad or paint on a plate
paper
pen, pencil crayons
Use the paint or stamp pad to ink up their thumb and press it on to the paper. Do as many prints as you like, but leave space around them to finish the picture. Once the stamp/paint is dry enough, use the pen/pencils to draw tails and little ears, a nose, whiskers etc. and you've got thumbprint mice!
If your child is interested - see what else you can create from thumbprints and fingerprints. A puppy with a thumb body and fingerprint head? A butterfly with four prints together for wings? Let their imagine take hold and see where you go with it.
