DLTK's Bible Activities
THUMBODY LOVES YOU...
GOD THAT's WHO!

Kim sent in a craft suggestion  and somewhere along the line, it turned into this *grin*...

This is a wonderful, yet simple craft for young children.

Thumbody Loves You craft

MATERIALS:

  • paper
  • couple colours of tempra or finger paint (we used 2, but you could use more... just remember, you only have 2 thumbs so if you use more, you'll have to wash off in between colors)
  • black marker

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Make thumbprints on the paper.  You can see in the photo that we made
    • 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)
       
  • 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
     
  • 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.
     
  • At the top of the picture, write "Thumbody loves you, God that's who!"  (or "us" or "me"... Tasha insisted we had to write us, even though it didn't rhyme *grin*)
