Clare, from St Albans, sent in this fingerprint heart picture keepsake idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

Making personalised artwork using just fingerprints and different colours and some paper.

We loosely sellotaped our paper templates to our canvas (or you could use paper and blutac if you don’t have a canvas) and then we chose one colour per family member to print with. There’s 5 in our family so we did one colour each to create the heart β€πŸ§‘πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ

We made sure prints overlapped the edges slightly and that they dried well in between each person.

Do you have any other projects planned?

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

I’m Clare and have three boys ages 6m to 6y.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It’s challenging being home especially with three different age boys but we’re managing πŸ˜‰

Do you have any tips for other parents?

If you can, try and involve them in tasks like cleaning and cooking, they love it and it generally means it helps you or if not then you have fun instead!

Has being part of our community helped you?

Great ideas. Even if you don’t have all the kit you can be imaginative.
