Then comes the last part of this craft. What should be done here is to place the small fingerprints of the children in the middle of the heart shape. Use the child’s thumb for that. Paint it on the child’s thumb with washable paint or an ink pad. Then place the heart shape in the middle as shown below. Do it twice on both sides and you get heart-shaped fingerprints?
