Baby Finger Thank You Cards



Recently I found myself in the need of some thank you cards and something to keep my kids busy. So I combined my needs. I got out our paints and while Lincoln did his own creations, Ivan and I made thank you cards. I dipped his finger in paint then pressed them on the page to make the flower petals and centers. Then I helped him do the stems and leaves. After about six thank you cards worth, his attention span was shot, so I washed him up and let him down to run around. I used my pinkie finger to smear the blue and green paint around for the sky and the grass. After they were dry, I used a ball point pen to write the Thank You part. I really like how they turned out.

We enjoyed being the recipients of one of the thank you cards. I actually opened it right before reading on the blog about Ivan helping you make them.
Very cute -
