Speaking of happy accidents...
With this lesson, I had the kids use markers to draw on their fingers to make fingerprints covering their entire paper. Any project where the kids get to draw on themselves is a winner!
We talked about how we didn't need to focus on making 'perfect' fingerprints because different sizes and shapes allow us to be more inventive with our designs(this encourages happy accidents and less perfectionism!) Students came up with a story and then used each fingerprint as a character in the story. I encouraged them to try to include as many different designs as they could think of. For example, if it were a story of a soccer game, a fingerprint could turn into... a player, a soccer ball, a fan in the crowd, a worm popping up in the field, etc!
The stories and drawings the kiddos came up with are so inventive and interesting!
Goo Goo beeb indeed! Two thumbs up(or on the paper) for these creations!
