Block Printing

Materials

• Small blocks of wood
• Rickrack
• Glue
• Liquid tempera paint in a shallow pan
• Paper

Directions

1. Glue rickrack to the end of a block of wood.
2. Press the block into the paint, then onto paper to make a zigzag design.
3. Move the block around in different directions and add different colors of paint if you like.

For an alternate activity, wrap string around a block or glue an object such as a key or small plastic ring to the end of the block to make an interesting print.
