Fingerprint Friendship Tree

A simple way for a child to remember their friends throughout the year.

Materials Needed:

  • coloured paint
  • paint brush 
  • a white piece of paper 
  • a black marker

What to do: 

  • Collect all your materials. 

  • On a white piece of paper, draw an outline of a tree.

  • Using a paintbrush dab paint on the child's thumb and make an impression on the tree, as the tree's leaf. 
  • Do this for each child in the room so they can all have their thumb impression on the tree. 

Hints and Tips:

  • If you can't draw a tree, use a photocopy of one. 
  • Under each thumb impression, add the child's name.
  • Great to use for a child's last day. 
  • Laminate it!
  • Can also be done on a canvas and presented to each child.
