Thumbprint Easter Egg Decorating

As I shared last year, Immy is a really enjoys making fingerprint art. It makes sense really, seeing how much young children love stamping with stamp pads – fingerprint art is such a perfectly natural extension as fine motor and drawing skills develop. With Easter not too far away we decided to combine fingerprint art with Easter egg decorating and were thrilled with the results.
