Supplies You’ll Need

You likely already have these items in your supply closet, making this a zero-cost lesson plan:

• An ink pad (washable is best!)
• White paper
• Colorful markers

Step-by-Step Instructions for The Fingerprint Masterpiece

1. The Impression: Have every child press their thumb onto the ink pad and then onto the paper.
2. The Comparison: Ask them to look at their friend’s print. They will quickly see loops, swirls, and arches, but they’ll discover that no two fingerprints are exactly the same.
3. The Creative Twist: Use markers to turn the fingerprint into a tiny character. Add ears for a bunny, or legs for a bug!

Pro-Tip for Teachers: Use this “twist” to explain how God takes our unique traits and builds them into something beautiful.
