Fingerprints Preschool & Tales     Introduction: Each one of us has something about us that is different from everyone else and that is our fingerprints. Someone could look at just your fingerprints and know that it is you. Fingerprints can be used to help solve a mystery and they can be fun to look at.  Today we will take a look at our fingerprints and make an interesting art project using our special fingerprints. I have a few mystery stories to share with you and some songs to sing and then we’ll begin on our craft for today.              Welcome Song   Book: Mystery on the Docks   Flannel: Can you do this?
