Sponge Print Wrapping Paper

For this week's Art & Play class we made sponge print wrapping paper! This was easy, fun and dried quite quickly.

You will need:

• butcher paper or a roll or thin painting paper
• scissors to cut it
• kids craft paint (in the colors you choose)
• sponges cut into shapes (or not)
• cookie cutters to dip too (if desired)
  
• a paper plate
• enthusiasm for filling a big space

There are allot of choices for the young child with this activity. What colors to use, which shape sponge to work with, where to place the print...it's also a nice toddler activity because of the big area to fill. Be sure to put out lots of newspaper or create this art on a linoleum floor; make your clean up easy!

To dry: hang from a clothes line or piece of yarn hung across a room, using clothes pins.



Remember to have fun and to use the end result to wrap gifts for Grandparents (they LOVE kid-made treasures like this one!)
Happy Holidays
In PEACE~~~MM
