Last year, my friend Susan was Sarah's classroom mom. She had the children make fingerprint art note cards for each teacher's birthday. They turned out so cute, I was inspired to borrow her design book, (Ed Emberley's Fingerprint Drawing Book) and try it with the girls. This week the girls and I made this card for Pete's grandmother's birthday. Each of the girls picked which bugs or flowers they wanted to make with their fingerprints. I added on the faces, legs and stems. (I used Pete's thumb to make the sun!) It was very easy to do and the girls loved it. I am thinking of making up some note pads or gift cards at Kinko's with fingerprint flowers along the bottom.
Ed Emberley's website has great drawing activities on it as well as fingerprint patterns. 123Child has patterns for fingerprint animals and plants which children over age 5 could do on their own.
Enjoy!

Hi Wendy.
I LOVE that Ed Emberly book. I had a couple of his when I was growing up and I've acquired several in the last few years for the kids! His stuff is awesome.
very cute. :-) Katy
