Potato Stamping Easter Eggs

This afternoon we did an art activity for our Easter cards. We used potatoes designed like Easter eggs and stamped them on construction paper. 

Supplies: potato, knife, forks, paint, construction paper

I cut the designs into the potatoes with some input from Monkey. He suggested the stripes! Then we mixed some pretty pastel colours and got to work. 

Monkey really, really, really wanted to use paint brushes so we ended up painting onto the potatoes and then stamping them. Originally I was going to just have him dunk them into one colour... this was way better! After we both struggled a little to keep a good grip on the potatoes, I stuck a fork into each one which made them super easy to hold. 

I am so happy with how they turned out. 

It's definitely a messier activity though, Monkey needed a bath right away!!
