fingerprint art
It’s so fun to find things that you enjoyed as a kid, introduce them to your little ones and they find them enjoyable too! That’s what happened when I brought home an Ed Emberley book for Fauna- she spent hours making thumbprint art.
Here are my favorites of Fauna’s creative “thumbprinting” critters-
I see a future plush raccoon from this one!
And here are some great fingerprinting ideas and links-
Ed Emberley’s webpage- I love his thumbprint self portrait.
fingerprint family tree- Ohh, I really want to do this at the next family party!
Custom art for your wall- This looks so professional and is so simple to do! Thanks Kelly from Heathen Family Revival for sharing this link!
The history of fingerprints- A great timeline of fingerprints through history.
Lesson plan on classification- A lesson on inventing ways to classify fingerprints.
“That’s all,”

So, so cute!
Um (since WordPress feels my comment was too short?!?!)…no…really…I think they are so, so cute.
Is that good enough WordPress Gods?
Kat- i think the curly head ones got shocked
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dragon and the knight! It looks like they are friends watching each other’s back! Great job fauna!
I think the curly hair prints are a loving auntie!
HAhaha…the mega cuteness of this!
And also, so unique
agreed! It’s awesome to relive the excitement!
We have that same book. Love it! Elizabeth, especially, used to really be into thumbprint animals.
I haven’t pulled it out in a while though. Need to add it to the list!
PS. did you see my big news? I’ll be going back through your archives soon to fill our days.
What a great idea! I’ve added his books to my wishlist. They look amazing.
FUN! I love that!
We’ve done fingerprint stuff before, but this takes it to a whole new level. I’ve requested the book from the library.
