Hello all!
Today I decided to work with ink stamp pads with my daughter to create some cute characters. Of course, we played around a bit first, got all messy and then we were ready to stamp our fingerprints.

After the thumb print was done, I added a few ink marks and voila we have a thumb print apple! I drew a small shape that looks like a thinned out triangle for the stem and on oval shape with lines going across for the leaf. Of course, her thumb print looked a little bit like a pear shape but we still called it an apple. She had a lot of fun playing around with an ink pad and creating all these little dots on a page.

After creating the apple we continued playing a bit and this is what we came up with, a bumble bee.

I thought these were really cute. I was thinking of working on a few at a time and maybe creating a thumb print character for each letter of the alphabet, put them all together and we have a quick and easy alphabet book!
