Looking Toward a Bright Future!

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!
