CRAFT :: Father's Day Thumbprint Art

Today I am going to share with you a real quick, Father's Day gift idea that the kiddos can do all by themselves! Even if you are a last minute kinda gift-giver, you still have time! ;) I promise this project is easy, inexpensive and your kid can do this one in about 15 minutes!

1. You just need to grab a few supplies: small canvas (or art paper would work),  2 tubes of paint, a paint brush, and a pencil. Plus one kid. ;) 

2. Start by lightly drawing a heart shape on the canvas so your child has a guide as to where they should put their thumbprints. 

3. Afterwards squirt a little paint on a tray or plate so they can start "thumbing" their heart shape.

4. Simply have your kid dip their thumb into the paint, push down their 'print' on a scrap piece of paper to remove excess paint and then go ahead and place a thumbprint onto the canvas. They should repeat this process until the have formed a heart shape with the thumbprints.

5. The next step is to grab the other paint color they chose and paint brush, to use it to paint the edges of the canvas to give their art a "framed look".

6. Finally, have them write a saying, message or whatever they would like on their art masterpiece! My daughter & I chose to use "my heart belongs to my daddy" as her saying on her thumbprint art.

Super easy for the kids right? Trust me, their daddys will LOVE it . . . dad's hearts melting all over. ;) Will you give this art a try? Did your kids make their dad a handmade gift for Father's Day? Please comment below as I'd love to know . . .
