Thumb Print Craft

Thumb print craft
*a thumbprint caterpillar with alternating colors,
*a thumbprint flower (4 prints for the petals and 2 prints for the leaves),
*a thumbprint butterfly (4 prints of the same color),
*a thumbprint sun (a whole bunch of prints in a circle),
*a thumbprint bush (prints in a bunch) and
*thumbprint grass (prints in a row)
*you can also use single thumbprints (younger kids) and draw bug legs/faces on them.

Kitty adds: for less experienced crafters, make small pencil marks on the paper to help guide them as to where they should be putting their thumbprints -- this helps with their hand/eye coordination, direction following skills and gets the caterpillars to look like caterpillars!
Let dry, then take your black marker and draw legs a face on the caterpillar, a stem and center on the flower, and a body and antenna on the butterfly.
