Gift Idea - Fingerprint Key Chain/Pendant

Still looking for a craft do you with your kids for a memorable Father's Day gift? This is an easy craft that you can do with children of any age. For multiple kids you can create separate fingerprints or one larger key chain. Same process will also work as a necklace pendant or to hang from the rear view mirror.

• Take your child's finger impression. 
• Use a wooden stick (ie. skewer) to create a key chain hole
• Use a knife to cut the clay into desired shape. (heart, oval)
