So easy and safe with the use of plastic cutlery and some pre-halved potatoes! It's a great feeling to let the kids carve them on their own and take pride in their own work. SO - Let's make some art!
 |
| A finished print on construction paper with brown ink |
 |
| Slice a potato in half either length-wise or width-wise for the child |
 |
| Let the child use a plasatic knife or fork and scrape and dig the potato to make marks on the flesh side. | |
 |
| Place potatoes flesh side down on paper towels to absorb moisture. Press potato into an ink pad and press firmly! |
 |
| Put four - six newspaper sections under the sheet of paper you will print on. Press inked potato onto paper firmly. |
 |
| Lift the potato up and re-ink to continue printing! Make a pattern with different colors and carved potatoes! |
