I just love thumbprint activities. All you need is a thumb, paper, and ink. That's a total of about $3.50!
Today, I decided to have a little fun with my intervention group. We recently learned about fingerprints and irises. We learned that everyone has their own fingerprint and iris color - no two people have the same. My students were specifically interested in what fingerprints look like and how intriguing they really are.
So, the light bulb in my head went on and I decided that today was a perfect opportunity to take a break from our rigorous intervention lessons and have some fun. We made holiday-themed art work using our fingerprints!
In addition, we made a "class photo" of all of our fingerprints. After we analyzed them and looked for similarities and differences, we decided to turn them into thumbprint people to post on our bulletin board. Sorry the photo quality isn't great, my camera is on the fritz. However, you can't deny how cute they are - it's so interesting to see how they drew themselves!
Happy Thumbprinting!
