Make your own police hat

This is a fun and easy way to make a Police Officer hat. Print out and color the template (see below). We colored the template, glued the pieces together and made a band using white paper, and glued the template to the middle of the band. We then measured the child's heads, and taped the bands so that they fit snugly.

Examining Fingerprints

Make your own FingerPrints

To make our fingerprints, we first traced our hands on a piece of white paper. We then used an ink pad, and made fingerprints on corresponding with the finger outlines. Once dry, we began our investigation.

Fingerprints are Important

Fingerprints have been used by governments the world over for more than a hundred years and are still the most widely used form of identification.
Kids may already know about the identification use for fingerprints, but they will love to learn about the anatomical purpose of fingerprints. Without those one of a kind ridges, we wouldn't be able to grip things! Our fingerprints give our fingers the rough surface we need to create the friction that allows us to pick up a baseball or hold onto a pencil to take a test.

Kids will be interested to learn their fingerprints were on the tiny tips of their fingers long before they born, that they are 100% unique - no two people have exactly the same fingerprint. Explain how fingerprints are used to catch criminals and can also help to find lost children. Tell kids how fingerprints can leave an ‘invisible ink' of sorts that police can decode with special tools and equipment.
Fingerprints can last for years on an object if it is not cleaned after being touched. This can be observed easily on old silver. Pull out grandma's spoons or take a trip to the local flea market for a sample.

Design your own Police Badge

Use the template (below) to create your own police badge. You can affix it to your shirt using rolled tape, or a safety pin. We colored ours with a yellow highlighter to obtain a bright yellow look, then added some gold glitter glue for a little sparkle. After the glitter glue had dried, we wrote in "Officer Allie" (our child's name).

Make Your Own Firefighter Hat

This is a very inexpensive and easy way to make a fire fighter hat. We painted a paper plate red, and allowed it to dry. Once dry, we used an exacto knife to cut out a ring 3/4 of the way around the inside the plate. Then folded the center up to create the front of the hat. We then printed out the shields (seen below), colored them yellow, cut them out, and glued one to the front of out hat. The others we used to make badges and affixed them with rolled scotch tape.

Hand Print Firefighters

This was a fun one to make. We painted our hands red, and then made thumb prints for heads. Once the paint was dry, we drew faces on our fire fighters, painted on little red hats, and used a black pen to draw on the hose. We opted to use glitter glue to make the water coming out of the fire hose, but blue ink will look just as good.
