Watercolor Fingerprint Heart Bookmark

We love how easy and fun this Watercolor Fingerprint Heart Bookmark is to make! It comes out super cute with the hearts made from child’s fingerprints! How adorable!

This craft isn’t only fun to make, but practical too! Have each child make their own and use as a bookmark in their reading books or textbooks. With homeschooling, we have lots and lots of books, so making these fun fingerprint bookmarks for Valentine’s Day seemed like a good idea!

If you don’t have watercolor paper or watercolor paints, you can use regular white cardstock and finger paints (even washable kids paint works!). You can totally tweak some of the materials and use what you have already on hand. It comes out super cute either way!

instructions:

Start by cutting out a bookmark, sizing it to your preference.

Next, add a little bit of water to your bowl and let the kids dip their pointer finger into the water then into watercolors and stamp on little hearts, as many as your can fit or space them out.

Now, add a little bit of pink paint to a wet paintbrush and tap against your finger over the bookmark to create a unique splatter effect. Let dry completely.
