To make our Fingerprint Christmas Lights Card you will need
  • Cards and envelopes - £1 @ Poundland
  • Black pen or felt tip

Craft supplies, paper plate, paints, cards and a black pen

*If your little artist is a messy painter make sure to protect your surfaces and them!

Start by drawing a curved line over the cards. Along the line draw small squares or triangles. Ensure there is some space between each.

Next, squeeze a small amount of paint onto the plate or palette.

Dip your little ones finger into the paint and place onto the card where you've drawn the squares or triangles.
