Potato Stamping with kids

Good old fashioned Potato Stamping is one of our favourite ways to create with paint.  You can paint onto almost anything using a potato stamp.  It makes the best gift wrap ever!

What you need:

• Potatoes
• Sharp kitchen knife
• Playdough shapes
• Paint
• Paper

What to do:

Cut your potatoes in half.

Using playdough shapes, press into the potato approximately 1cm.

Using a sharp knife cut around the play dough shape, discarding the off cuts.

Once completely cutout, remove the playdough shape……..and Voila!

Stamp onto paper, pottery, plastic, fabric.  Alter the paint to suit the project.
