To open Click Here

Children will explore the features of fingerprints. They will make pictures using the ink pads and their fingerprints.

Materials:

 Magnifying glasses

Ink pads

White drawing paper

Alternatives: Here is an easy method for how to make your own clear set of fingerprints. (It's also a great science project for kids.)

• Step 1: Use a pencil to darken about a 1 inch square section on a piece of paper.
• Step 2: Rub one fingertip across the graphite-covered section of paper.
• Step 3: Stick a piece of clear tape onto the darkened finger. (Packing tape works very well, but any clear tape will do.)
• Step 4: Carefully remove the tape from the fingertip, and stick the tape onto a piece of white paper or card stock.

Repeat with each finger, placing each print onto the same paper. (Two rows of 5 prints per row.) Remember to write down which hand and finger each print is from, and you will have made your own permanent "ID Card". This method also works great for making fingerprints from babies' hands.

● Goal P-SE 9. Child recognizes self as a unique individual having own abilities, characteristics, emotions, and interests.
