September 9, 2016 by Denise Leave a Comment

Keep your kids busy during cool fall days with fingerprint art. Fingerprinting is a great activity for very young children up to adults even! I have rounded up some easy to do fall fingerprint art projects for kids.

Fingerprinting is art that involves paint, paper and imagination. Especially young children love to get “dirty” with paint on their little hands. With fingerprinting, kids can start creating their first art work for their parents and caregivers to cherish. See some cute fingerprinting ideas especially for fall.

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!

So, now that you know what supplies you need to get started, you might be wondering what impact fingerprinting or finger painting has on a young child. I am always curious as to what is in it health wise. I mean, you read so much about health benefits for kids these days. I dug a little deeper. Check it out below!

Health benefits of fingerpainting

  • Did you know that fingerprinting or finger painting in general has health benefits for kids? According to KidsLearningHQ it increases brain development during early childhood and it improves fine motor development.
  • Fingerprinting is not only fun but also helps with social behavior as they learn to share the paint with others.

Convincing points to try fingerprinting

So, maybe you are not sure if you want to put up with the “mess” of fingerprinting but there are some really convincing points to try it!

  1. Great starting paint project for young kids as it does not involve many supplies.
  2. Kids love to keep busy and fingerprinting is a great activity that can be done pretty much anywhere.
  3. It is a fun start into making lasting memories with your kids by creating artwork to keep.
