If You Have a Finger, You Can Do It!

If you have a finger, you can do it. If you have four fingers, a thumb, and an ink pad you can do it even better. What is the crazy lady talking about, you ask? Why fingerprint drawings of course. My daughter and I discovered our first Ed Emberley fingerprint drawing book at our local library, and what a fascinating time we had with that book. It was an older book, but Ed Emberley's Complete Funprint Drawing Book looks equally interesting. Since then I have learned that Mr. Emberley is author of over 80 books, two of them medal winners, with one of the most popular series being the drawing books.

















Finally an art project that requires more imagination then talent. That is

most assuredly what this fairly inartistic gal needs. Turn any finger print into an instant picture with just a few squiggles and lines. Don't worry Ed's books are chock full of wonderful colored illustrations that even the most novice of artists can follow. Not only do Ed's books offer hours and hours of low cost entertainment, but they also afford the opportunity for you big kids to do something fun with your little kids. So get out there and create, create, create. And while you are at it, check out Ed's Picture Pie cut and paste book which looks like something I could do as well.
