Here is a fun, simple fingerprint activity to do with young children. I did this with one of my classes.
Our school & grade was listed at the top of the paper. I made that document on Microsoft Publisher.
A parent volunteer cut out copies of the jar pattern for us. The pattern came from the Mailbox. I don't think the one I linked to is the exact same one, but it is close.
We used a yellow washable ink pad for the fingerprints. To minimize mess we had it available as a small group, and we made the rule that each child could only use his/her pointer finger.
After that we told the kids to make the fingerprints into lightning bugs/fireflies using colored pencils or crayons.
They turned out cuter than the sample I made for myself!
