Easy Fall Fingerprint Craft for Kids – Five Little Pumpkins

What is it about fingerprint and hand-print crafts for kids? They make such a sweet keepsake or a gift for a grandparent.

We are always looking for a new way to incorporate the boys adorable little fingerprints or hand-prints. After reading, Five Little Pumpkins, I was inspired to create a fall-themed fingerprint craft with my boys.

This past week gave me the perfect opportunity. We had a wet and rainy day and my youngest was feeling sick and not up to much.  So we pulled out our craft supplies and got to work making these easy and adorable five little pumpkin fingerprints sitting on a gate.
