Supplies: foam paper, recycled cardboard, scissors, pencil, glue stick.
This was another fun activity :-)... Today, while learning Spanish, it occurred to me a great way to implement print making/stamping/painting into our homeschool day. I pulled out foam paper and asked my son to draw outline pictures of the words we learned in our lesson. I let him know that they would be cut out, so make them simple. Then I placed a white poster board on the floor of our school room. I had my son write the title on the top of the poster. He wrote it way too big, so he had to turn it over and I drew a line and told him to fit the words above the line ;-). Meanwhile, sister cut out the shapes he had drawn. I got some paper plates, a dab of paint one each plate and brayers to roll it out. I then found some cardboard from the bottom of a pack of bottled waters and cut it to fit the cut out shapes. Its amazing how great everyone works together when paint is in their future! The students glue stick-ed the shapes to the cardboard. Then we rolled a thin layer of paint on the "stamps" and stamped them on the poster board. Lastly, we labeled the items with their Spanish names.
