Fingerprint Artwork for our School Auction

A colorful butterfly art made with thumbprints, surrounded by thumbprint dots on a blue background. Names are written above each dot. This unique piece of fingerprint artwork is ideal for a school auction. One of our projects for the school fundraiser this year was this lovely fingerprint butterfly by the kindergarten class.

I was inspired by this fingerprint artwork!

I cut out the shape of a butterfly as a stencil and each kid used a different color to add their fingerprints.  This was then cut out and glued on to a blue piece of paper.  The artwork was a hit and the families loved it!

Fingerprint artwork featuring the names "Megan," "Henry," "Jamie," and "Grant" on a blue background, ideal for a school auction.

It turned out very cute and was a nice momento of that class.

Another idea for fingerprint art and to allow the kids more freedom for their own expression is to have kids cut out their own stencils (this would be more appropriate for older kids) and create their own design.
