This fingerprint Christmas card craft was such a sweet addition to our Christmas crafts this week. I love finding ways to make the crafts that we make meaningful and special. Fingerprint crafts are my favorite to do because each craft becomes so individual and personal for my students.
In this blog post I’m sharing the materials and instructions you need to make this craft with your students too.

Materials Needed
- Green card
- White card
- Selection of paints in a paint palette
- Black thin marker
- ‘Merry Christmas’ title – printed out
- Scissors
- Glue
- Tissues/wet wipes
Instructions
- Fold the green card in half and place it so the flap opens upwards (portrait style).
- Cut the white card down and stick on the front of the card leaving a small green border around the edges.
- Use one of the students fingers (either independently or with support from yourself) and dip into one colour/color paint, place onto the card, wash the paint off and do the same with another color/colour, continue this until you are happy with how many lights are on the card. Don’t forget to place them at different heights. Leave the paint to dry.
- Once dry, use a thin black marker pen to draw the lines from the light bulbs to the top of the white piece of card.
- Cut out and stick on the Merry Christmas title at the top of the card.
