These Grinch ornaments make me smile. I just love how different each one turned out. I made the white one, then Ruby and Mac made the yellow and blue ones—and let’s be honest, they blew it out of the water.
That little face on the yellow ornament is so dang cute! Reminds me of the Grinch when he was a child in the movie. These thumbprint Grinch were SO easy to make. Add a name and date on the back and it’s a darling little keepsake to hang on the Christmas tree.
