Preschool were surprised to learn that as well as having lots of differences in our hair colour, eye colour and skin colour, no 2 people have the same fingerprint! So we wanted to investigate this and examine our fingerprints, comparing them to our friends Our magnifying glasses gave us a closer look at the lines and patterns on our finger tips. We enjoyed dipping our fingers into paint and pressing them against the paper to make our own unique marks.
