1st Grade Pull Prints from Their Stamps

First I have to thank all parents who donated all the corks and made this project possible.

As you can see the corks were used as handles for our stamps. Each class pulled about 90-120 prints in 45 minutes. Each time they made a new print your child learned a little more about whether to apply more pressure, less pressure, more ink, or less ink to make their prints more successful. Next week we will be creating a class-wide project in which everyone makes a stamp and contribute to the whole.

Parents, please make sure your child has a sketchbook next week. They will be needing them to make initial sketches of their final designs.

To get a better idea of the process we used to make these prints you can view this video below: I did not make this video. I found it on Youtube and thought you might enjoy learning about the process.

If you do this at home...I would love to see what you make!!!!
