Make Fingerprint Faces
The kids will have fun learning how to Make Fingerprint Faces. They can design them to look like friends and family or create a whole new set of faces from their imagination.
Trivia: An English police official, Sir Edward Richard Henry, invented the fingerprint classification system In 1896. Fingerprints fall into three main categories: the arch, the loop and the whorl.
