A very simple, yet charming and engaging project to do with your young child. All you need is a pen, an inkpad, a piece of paper and your thumb. (You can also cut a sponge into a oval shape to resemble the size of the child's thumb.)
Materials
Inkpad (or washable tempera paints)
Paper
Pen (for drawing lines)
Directions
Have your child place their thumb (or the sponge) into the inkpad and make prints onto a piece of paper. Then take a pen and draw lines to resemble a Shiva Lingam, an animal, flower, car, or anything you can imagine! These little doodles look very sweet when turned into greeting cards.
