Fingerprinting Doodles

We discovered we can make little things with our fingerprints. Very fun, very easy, with very cute results! We were using stamp pads (work best, less mess), but for the colors we didn't have in ink, we used paint. Got it all from one book by Ed Emberley (view here).

Stacy said...: adorable! I've had that book wishlisted for ages and never gotten it. Looks like I can achieve the same concept with a finger and a stamp pad? :); February 6, 2008 6:58 AM
ErinSherman said...: Yeah Stacy we found and borrowed the book from the library :) It is all just meant to be fingers and stamp pads. Then lines drawn with a pen.; February 6, 2008 8:16 PM

Here's how it works!
Grab a child in your life and let them dictate what you all will do. Work how you work so they can see what you do and how you do it. If it's on the computer, give them the mouse to color something in or if your medium of choice is paint, have them paint. Just be creative!! You can see what I do with one of my styles here. Enjoy your time and just have fun! Participation is open to all.
