Are you looking for a personalized gift to make for Mother's Day, a present for grandparents or anything else that needs to be celebrated? Fingerprint art can be a great idea!
Grab some finger paint and a brush (or ink pad), a paper and a marker. Let your kids make prints with their fingers, let it dry and create anything you like with just a few simple lines. What about making flowers, animals or anything else. You can get your inspiration from the fingerprints books of Ed Emberley. I decided to draw each of my nanny kids as shown in the picture above. This little art work was placed in a frame with a magnet and used as a present for Mother's Day. If your children are older, they can draw themselves or anything else they fancy of course!
Making a unique new born baby gift can also be easily done with fingerprints. One of my nanny kids made this present for his godmother when they had their first baby. It's a family portret on a piece of wood with the little baby in yellow, daddy in blue and the mother on the right side in red. They were so happy with this personalized new born baby gift and my nanny kid was so proud of himself haha ;-)
