Using only your fingers and an ink pad, you can create amazing miniature works of art. Children AND adults enjoy making thumbprint art – I know because I couldn’t resist making these with my daughters when they were growing up. I can’t take credit for the idea of thumbprint art, also called fingerprint or funprint art. Ed Emberley is the genius who has shared this simple art form with the world through his book Ed Emberley’s Complete FunPrint Drawing Book.

Below are just a couple of examples from Ed Emberley’s book.  This makes a great Christmas gift for kids!
