This project idea came from some old copies from an old craft book that someone left here. It was very simple, but E Ann enjoyed it very much. All you need is two colors of paper, ink pads, and markers. We can get ink pads in our country at an office supply store. But I actually had on hand some ink pads that are kid-safe from Hobby Lobby. These come in a variety of colors, and I highly recommend them...watch for Hobby Lobby's sales on stamping supplies. We used thumbprints for the mice bodies and decorated eyes, noses, ears, whiskers, and tails on with markers. We glued the picture on another contrasting sheet of colored paper. It meant a lot to E Ann to make some of the mice smaller so they could be a family. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much delight a craft as simple as this could bring to E Ann. Bookmarks are always in need around our house, also, to use as markers for our nighttime devotional books, so having a new bookmark can be really special for your devotions or for library books which need special care.
