I saw this cute Easter basket with fingerprint eggs on Pinterest and thought we'd give it a try. You can find the original idea over at craftymorning.com. They'd make great Easter cards or decorations for around the house.
I had my older daughter put her artistic talent to work by drawing the Easter basket.
While she created her mini masterpiece, the younger kids colored some Easter pictures while they waited to add their fingerprints.
Instead of using paint (which is messier than I wanted to deal with), I colored the kid's fingers with markers and let them add their fingerprints that way. I do think the original idea with the paint turned out better because the fingerprints are more vibrant.
After all the fingerprint eggs were added, the younger kids colored the basket.
As you can see it didn't turn out quite like my inspiration, but the kids still had fun making it.
