I introduced kinders to their first printmaking project.
Learning how to draw different expressions on the faces, like those in the famous “Five Little Pumpkins” book, added to the fun.
- Multimedia paper
- Old paper towel rolls
- Black tempera paint
- Plates for paint
- Black Sharpie marker
- Students use a paper towel or toilet paper roll, dip the end in a pool of black tempera paint, and print as many black circles as they can on a sheet of drawing paper. Let dry.
- Faces are drawn in each circle with a Sharpie marker. Happy, scared, surprised … the book has clear examples of each.
- The pumpkins are colored in with crayon, and the background filled as well.
