It’s time to get ready for the World Cup in Kansas City! And what better way to prepare than to craft your own personal soccer field using your children’s fingerprints? This is the perfect craft for your older kids to help your younger kids with! Pick your own teams and colors or represent your new favorites as the matches unfold!
Supplies:
- White paper
- Stamp pads (in team colors of your choice)
- Pencil or marker
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Soccer ball design (we found one online and shrunk it down on the printer)
Directions:
- Have your children stamp their fingerprints in a line across a piece of white paper — we used a light pencil to help guide the placement. These will be your soccer players. Draw a soccer goal on each side of the line of fingerprints, using the ruler if needed.
- Draw grass underneath the fingerprints and clouds above the fingerprints.
- Add arms, legs and faces to the fingerprints.
- Draw a soccer ball or print out a picture of one. Cut it out and glue it onto your picture.
- Hang up your picture and admire the view as you cheer on your favorite team!
- (Optional) We chose to add a referee fingerprint into our line of fingerprints using a different color.
