Different transport vehicles to try
1. Fingerprint Airplane
I’m going to start off this list of fingerprint crafts with a simple plane. Invite children to draw wings and windows to make an airplane. Or maybe even a little man parachuting out.
2. Fingerprint Boat
Make a fingerprint boat or even a fleet using a variety of paint colors. This is perfect if you’re looking for fun and easy preschool crafts.
3. Fingerprint Bus
Use your child’s fingerprints to make a school bus. Using step by step drawing guides is a great way for kids to practice their listening skills.
4. Fingerprint Car
Why not turn fun craft projects into the family car? This is a wonderful way for kids to explore everyday transport.
5. Fingerprint Digger
I made this digger using three fingerprints in the shape of a fan. What I should have done is made a triangle instead. However, this is still perfect if you are looking for thumbprint art ideas.
6. Fingerprint Fire Engine
Making a fire engine out of thumbprints is so much fun. This fun activity is perfect for a fire safety week unit.
7. Fingerprint Helicopter
Fun fingerprint art ideas don’t get much better than this cute helicopter. This is an easy transport craft for kids.
8. Fingerprint Hot Air Balloon
Are you looking for fun ways to explore the land, seas and sky? Kids will love to try making a mini hot air balloon.
9. Fingerprint Motorcycle
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like the way this motorcycle art turned out. I’ll just have to practice my drawing while I make these transportation crafts.
10. Fingerprint Rocket
Are you ready to blast off into outer space? This rocket is a great way to start exploring the universe.
11. Fingerprint Submarine
For me, there’s no more interesting transportation vehicles than submarines. I would love to go under the water and explore the amazing things in the ocean.
12. Fingerprint Tractor
Place two fingerprints at a right angle to make the base of your tractor. The next step is to draw in all the details using a pen or sharpie.
13. Fingerprint Train
Make a series of circles using your kid’s finger. These can all be the same color, or you can make a rainbow. Join them together to make a colorful train.
14. Fingerprint Truck
Make a special delivery in this simple truck art. Or draw a cross on the side and turn it into an ambulance.
More ideas to try
There are so many more ideas to try. For example, I completely forgot about making a set of traffic lights using fingerprints.
Another idea, which would be perfect for holiday cards or fingerprint ornaments, is to make santa’s sleigh out of red fingerprints. Maybe even add in some fingerprint reindeer using brown paint.
