Thumbprint Sillies Card
Cute critters are hiding on your thumb! These whimsical homemade cards are crawling with good wishes from The Crayola® Factory™.
1. Who would enjoy getting a fun card that's covered with crawling bugs? Would silly creatures be perfect for April Fool's Day? Halloween? Who could you surprise? Create your own silly cards to make someone laugh!
2. Fold a piece of colorful construction paper in half.
3. Cover your workspace with newspaper. Paint your thumb with Crayola Washable Kid's Paint and a Paint Brush. Press your thumb on the front (and back) of the card, wherever you want to make silly creatures. Dry. If you wish, make more creatures trailing into the inside of the card. Dry.
4. Using Crayola Twistables, add whimsical features to your Thumbprint Sillies such as eyes, noses, mouths, ears, hair, legs, and antennae. Draw lines to show how your sillies run, jump, kick, or do other wacky actions.
5. Inside your card, write a friendly message. Ask an adult to help with the words.
