Today, we did potato printing.
Something I've not attempted since school!
To make the potato stampers, I pressed different shaped cookie cutters into halved potatoes.
I then carefully carved away the outer potato until there was a definite shape for the children to use.
Next, I provided paper and paints and allowed Jasmine and Sonny to explore.
This occupied them for a short while, before Sonny turned his attention to trains, and Jasmine to making footprints.
This was a lovely activity to do in the hour before bathtime. Next time, we will try different shapes and perhaps make note cards - possibly thank yous for Easter presents that have already started arriving.
We all love potatoes!
Brilliant! We also always seem to end up with a painted foot...!
