Fingerprint Fruit BasketScented stamp pads are our newest obsession! Bright, washable, and they smell delicious. The cherry red inspired our latest craft, the Fingerprint Fruit Basket! 

Explore the different colors and sweet scents of the stamp pads. Which one is your favorite?

Cut or draw a big bowl to put your fingerprint fruit in. We made ours extra fancy with gemstone stickers and a glitter glue handle. The possibilities are endless!

Try using your fingers to make a bunch of grapes. Use a qtip to add tiny blueberries. How about using the side of your fist to create a juicy peach? Markers helped us make a banana & our fruit feast complete!
