🎨 Let's Make Amazing Prints! 🖼️

Introduction to Printmaking

Hello, little artists! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey into the world of printmaking. But first, let's start with a fun activity to get our creative juices flowing!

Activity: Surprise Printmaking Adventure!

Step 1: Gather Around

Gather around in a circle on the carpet! I want everyone to share their favorite color and one thing that they love. It could be your favorite animal, a super fun toy, or even a delicious food! As you share, imagine what it would look like if you could print that favorite thing.

Step 2: Mystery Box of Printmaking Tools

I have brought a mystery box filled with some cool printmaking tools! Can you guess what they are? Let's open it together and see what we find!

• Foam Shapes: We will be using these cool foam shapes to create prints!
• Inks and Paints: Splashy colors that help make our prints come alive!
• Paper: A smooth canvas where our creativity will shine!

Step 3: Color and Create

Now, let’s choose our favorite foam shape. You can choose a star, a heart, or even a cute animal! Everyone will get to dip their chosen shape into the paint and press it onto the paper to make their very own print.

Step 4: Share Your Creation

Once everyone has made their prints, let’s take a moment to share our artwork with our friends. Tell us what shape you used, what colors you chose, and how it feels to make your own print!

What We Will Learn Today
