This craft ia provided in a black and white version for kids to color and cut out.

You can use the photo as a guide or the children can make up their own color combinations. The really adventurous ones can start with just the basic mask and create their own designs.

Just click on printables and select the thumbprint. Print and cut out. Punch holes in the sides and tie on enough string to comfortably fit the child's head. Elastic cord works best for a snug fit.
