THUMBODY LOVES YOU...
GOD THAT's WHO!

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

	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*)
