Do you need an engaging articulation activity to mix up your speech sessions? Grab an ink pad and this resource! It is an activity that keeps students busy during practice. My students love making thumbprint art and yours will too! No Prep and Ink Friendly!

This download contains following sounds: initial/final: p, b, m; final: n, t, d; initial/medial/final: k, g, f, v, l, s, z, ch, j, th, sh; pre-vocalic r; vocalic r (er, ar, or, air, ear, ire); rblends; lblends; sblends (separate mats for sp, st, sm, sn, sk, sl, sw, mixed). I also included open-ended pages (one with 25 balloons and one with 50 balloons). First practice, then make a thumbprint balloon.

→ Please note: There are 12 target words on each page (2 of each, totaling 24 words).

Materials Needed: Ink pad or paint (mixed bright colors recommended), thumbprint balloons pages, wet wipes (tip: keep wet wipes handy to wipe thumbs between turns). 

Optional Assembly: You can also place in a sheet protector or laminate to use with play dough.

To use: The student will practice the word and then make a thumbprint balloon on the oval over the word. The student will place their thumb on an ink pad and then stamp it on the balloon. If you are working in a group. Use the blank template as a craft or reinforcer with any activity.

Variations:
Use paint instead of ink
Use play dough to smash to make the balloons.
Use bingo chips to place over the balloons.
Use bingo dotters

Please note: All of my Thumbprint Activities  have similar targets
