Ink Pad or Tempera
Pain
Paper
Fine point felt tip marking pen
Thummies are so
easy to do, and you can continually come up with
more ideas for them. Once you start, it's hard to
stop!
If using an ink
pad, simply press your thumb into the inked pad,
and then press it onto paper. Add details and
background to the print to create an animal,
person or whatever strikes your fancy. If you are
using tempera paint, pour a small amount into a
jar lid or onto a styrofoam plate. You may need
to gently wipe some off your fingertip before
printing.
Thummies make great
decorations for greeting cards, stationary and
gift tags. They are a great way to illustrate a
story or an experience. Thummies enjoy each
other's company, and the more of them you put into
a picture, the more fun it becomes.
