So, the other day while I was out purchasing yardage for some current projects I happened upon this super adorable flannel Holiday Penguin fabric! These cute whimsical Penguins are rather large in scale, and I couldn't resist some yardage! It brought back the memory of my first born daughter and I making penguins from her thumb and pointer finger with paint on a cermamic planter for a teacher's gift.

You can paint these adorable penguins on anything, and what makes them so unique is that they are made from your own child fingerprints..which any grandparent or loved one adores! :0)

Fingerprint Penguins
You will need:
Some sort of blank for your art work ie. ceramic pot, blank greeting card, wood ornament blank, the options are endless! Use your imagination!
Black acrylic paint
White acrylic paint
Red Acrylic paint
Orange Acrylic paint
Black Sharpie pen.
Squeeze a small amount of black paint onto a paper plate. Press your child's thumb into the paint and firmly place it on the area you would like for your "penguin" to be. Allow black paint to dry. Once the black paint has thoroughly dried, squeeze a small amount of white paint onto a paper plate. Taking the child's pointer finger or pinky, place it in the paint and press child's finger in the center of the black thumbprint creating the "belly and face of the penguin.
If your child is too young to fill in the rest of the details, paint a small red triangle on the head of your penguin and allow to dry, you may paint the white trim once the red has dried. Paint orange feet at the base of the penguin and a beak on it's face. Allow to dry.
Now taking a sharpie pen make two small dots for eyes and a smile if you like off the sides of the beak! Now your child has their own penguin!
If you really want to get creative, you can create a "scene" for your penguin. For example snowy hills, pine trees, igloos... let your child decide for more fun!
