SpyLabs Fingerprinting Kit

£4.99

Little detectives can now take on a whole new role in apprehending suspects using fingerprinting techniques - just like real detectives! Including everything you will need, the SpyLabs Fingerprinting Kit is your pocket-sized companion to help budding detectives locate, develop and lift fingerprints and find suspects for their own investigations.  

Inside the pocket-sized tin is a dusting brush, black fingerprint dusting powder and clear stickers. To record fingerprints, little detectives just need to use the black powder and brush to dust across fingerprints, which will reveal the unique patterns of each one. Then, using the clear stickers in the set, you place the sticker over the powder to pick up the print, and then stick the sticker back down it the fingerprint chart or your own detective notebook as evidence.

The method of dusting for prints is something many kids will have seen in films and TV shows, so now getting to do it themselves will have any young detective excited. The activity of finding and dusting for prints is perfect for all of the family and will have everyone looking for fingerprints and discovering which surfaces are best for picking up the clearest ones. I love that the set provides a great educational element for kids to understand the unique nature of fingerprints and are given an idea of how they can be used to find suspects in real crime cases – however, all of it is delivered in a child-friendly and fun way.

If you have a budding detective at home or are looking for a fun yet mildly educational tool for your kids, that is also super affordable, then the SpyLabs sets are a perfect pick to help them discover the fun and the science of fingerprinting.

Pros:

• Fun and easily accessible way to learn about the process of fingerprinting
• Affordable price point for an educational activity that the whole family can get involved in
• Pocket-sized activity tin for a fun activity whilst on the go this summer
