What to Read Wednesday: Fingerprint Books for Kids

Fun With Fingerprints

My son is a kid detective through and through. If we lose the tiniest thing at our house, he is invariably the one to find it. He is a big fan of Sherlock Holmes and loves to dress the part whenever he has the mystery solving bug. So, of course, our fingerprint theme this week includes some good detective activities.

  • Learn how to turn your fingerprints into personalized homemade thank you cards: Creating Homemade Thank You Cards.
  • Create some homemade fingerprint Christmas cards.

    I’m still working on the apple books you suggested! I just finished a great book called Dark Rising by Monica McGurk, it is the second in a series. Really great young adult fiction.
