April showers bring May flowers! Celebrate the beginning of the blooming season with your child by helping her turn beautiful blossoms into vibrantly painted prints. She'll make these lovely prints by marking a picture on a flat surface using a specially-made plate. This fun activity introduces her to some basic science and math concepts. Collect and type different plant specimens or take time for a mini-lesson on the growing cycle before starting the printmaking process. The printing itself gives you an opportunity to talk about the shapes, textures, and colors created in this technique.
What You Need:
- Tempera paint
- Paint brush
- Cardboard square (reuse a piece of a moving or packing box)
- Clear drying, non-toxic glue
- White or light colored paper
- Flowers and plants
- Scissors
