Materials Needed To Make Fingerprint Valentine’s Day Cards

Here is what you will need to make the cards:

Craft Paint – washable paint will work or I like to use non-toxic acrylic paint for a better coverage (just make sure to wash hands right away when you’re done)
White Cardstock
Alphabet Stickers
Black Marker or Sharpie

Directions To Make Fingerprint Valentine’s Day Cards

Here are the step-by-step directions to make each card:

1. First, fold a piece of cardstock in half. We are using 8.5×11 white cardstock.

2. Dip the child’s finger into the paint and gently press onto your card.

3. Make 3 fingerprints vertically in red for the ladybugs.

Make 3 fingerprints horizontally for the bees.

For the caterpillar, make the head bigger and then add 7 or 8 smaller fingerprints beside it.

Bee Card:

Add the wings, eye, mouth, stripes and stinger with a black marker.

Caterpillar Card:

Draw the eyes, a smile, antennae (add hearts to the top), and legs on the caterpillar with a black marker.

Ladybug Card:

Draw on a head, a line for the wings, dots and antennae with a black marker.

Using alphabet stickers, spell out “Bee Mine”, “Be My Love Bug” and “Thumb Body Loves You”. You can also write this on the card with the black marker.
