Now this might be more detective than spy – but I don’t mind if you don’t! This is a fun game/activity that can be switched up for just your own kids or a whole party of kids. Start by taking everyone’s finger prints. For your own family you can do all the fingers but if you have a whole party of kids you may just want to stick with the thumbs.
There are 2 easy ways to do finger prints. A less messy way is with a regular pencil and Scotch tape. Scribble a square of pencil on a paper and place your thumb into the square.
Then press your thumb onto a small piece of Scotch tape
Peel off the tape and place on a sheet of paper and you have a perfect little finger imprint.
If you want to go the more traditional route you can use stamp ink
For this game you’ll need 2 sets of each finger prints. One is the record to go off of and the other will be for the crime scenes.
For a party you could hide all the presents at some point and place one of the fingerprints in the area. If you’re just doing this at home you could place them around the house. Once they find a fingerprint they can try and figure out whose it is using their magnifying glass and their record of prints.
I love how this game can be changed up to meet your needs. For little ones it might be fun just to examine their fingerprints and then hid them around the hosue for them to find (with their magnifying glass of course!)

So clever! Can't wait to do this with my boys! Thanks for your hard work, my boys and I really enjoy your blog.
you could also put your finger on a bit of paint and then put your finger on a piece of paper
