Kids Spy Themed Crafts

Today I'm sharing two cool craft ideas I discovered. 
My grandson is fascinated by the "spy theme" right now. 
These two fun projects for kids, fall under that category.
Enjoy!

How to Make Invisible Ink

Be a secret agent. Write a secret message on paper and have it revealed only by the heat of a light bulb

Supplies Needed:
Half of a Lemon
Water
Spoon
Bowl
Cotton Swab
White Paper
Light Bulb

1)  Squeeze some lemon juice into a bowl and add a few drops of water.

     Mix the water and lemon juice

2)  Dip the cotton swap in the juice mixture and write a message on the white paper

3)  When your message dries, hold the white paper up to a light bulb that’s


      on to reveal the message


Fingerprinting

Pretend you are a part of the FBI, or CSI, and discover what your fingerprints look like

Supplies Needed:
Paper
Pencil
Tape



1) Draw an outline of your right hand on a plain piece of paper.
2) Draw and outline of your left hand on a piece of paper.
3) Take a pencil and scribble on a piece of paper until you have a nice big black mark.
4) Then rub your index finger in the mark. Your index finger is the one next to your thumb.
5)  Now get some tape. The best tape to use is called transparent tape or utility tape. 

     Put a piece of it over your finger, press down, and pull it off.
6)  Pull the tape off and place it on the drawing of your hand. Now you can see 

      your fingerprint.
