Supplies you need to do fingerprint art
Fingerprinting does not require a lot of supplies, luckily. I have selected a few products for you to look at so you and your kids can get started on some pretty fall artwork! The following supplies are meant for fingerprinting on paper.
To start out with fingerprinting art you really only need the basics like an ink pad (art set), a smock to protect their clothes and paper for painting. You can of course use regular paper as well but the recommended paper is so much better in quality so your fall fingerprint art projects will last a long time. Let’s see them below! By clicking on them you will be shown your shopping cart on the right sidebar for your convenience!
