Block Printing Made Easy

Using foam plates from the grocery store makes block printing easy for young artists. You will still need a few "real" art supplies, like two brayers and some printing ink. These can be purchased using the links provided below.

Plan at least two sessions for this art projects, as the ink needs to fully dry before cutting and mounting them. Students can get creative and create a torn paper collage background for these eye catching fish!

Supplies

Foam Plates - 1 for each design and 1 for rolling out ink
Pencils
Paper
Printer's Ink, black
Spoon
Brayers - 2
Colored construction paper
Scissors
Tape

Rubber Brayers
