*Punny* Finger Painted Silhouette Valentines

No matter how old your little one is, this is the perfect option for a personalized, meaningful Valentine's day card, thank you card or just because card.

What you'll need:
Finger paints
Card stock {white to paint on and colored to create your card out of}
Silhouette shapes {we did a Google image search for animal shapes}
Scissors
Glue
Stamps, markers or pen {to write your card out}

And a willing artist...

When the finger painting masterpiece, your little artist created, has completely dried, trace out a few silhouette shapes of animals {or whatever shape you decide}.

Either you or your little artist {depending on how skilled they are with scissors} can cut the finger painting shapes out.

Using either stamps, markers or a pen add a caption to your card. I am a fan of adding some sort of a pun to my cards. As if ewe hadn't already guessed.

I guarantee, anyone that receives one of these cards will think they are purr-fect.

This is such an easy way to involve your little one {regardless of age} so they can create something truly unforgettable.

What a sweet way to let some bunny, any bunny know how much you care.

I hope you and your little artist have fun making some of your own cards and creating some memories in the process.

Long before Pinterest

I am the first to admit, the idea of stamping with fruit or vegetables is not a new concept.  My mom claims that when I was in school, I actually made these as well.  And, let me tell you, that was LONG before pinterest and blogs.

Though the idea isn't original, it still is fun and...

for this little girl it is still an original idea.

So we stamped with the rind of celery...

A lemon...

And an apple.  My personal favorite because we glued the apple seeds onto our apple prints.

When we were done stamping, we used our scraps and fixed a snack. 

Ants on a log, another idea that has been around longer than pinterest that continues to be a novelty for each new generation introduced to them.
