Create this adorable project using your child’s fingerprints and make their own family tree. You can also frame it for a creative project idea. What a fun way to celebrate new family members or give to for the holidays.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Build on 8x8 black cardstock. Cut blue square, mat with white and adhere to black.
STEP 2:
On white cardstock, use brown ink and create several fingerprints. Ultimately you will need as many fingerprints as people in your family, but it’s good to do a few extras before washing hands.
STEP 3:
Using fine tip markers, draw on fingerprints to match family members. Color in clothes and add each person’s special features.
STEP 4:
Cut each character out and mat with various colors of cardstock. Arrange on page and attach with black photo corners.
STEP 5:
Add “My Family” title. Use as an introduction page in a scrapbook about family. Fingerprint art is so fun and easy for kids. They love to get messy, and will have a blast drawing on the fingerprints to create their own rendition of the characters in your family.
