Growing up one of the funnest art project to make- and probably cheapest- was potato art! You most likely have all done it... And maybe forgotten about it... But I did it with my kiddos and they LOVED it. If you've not tried it before, here are the basics!
*Cut a potato in half.
*Cut out a design on the cut side of each half, or you can use a cookie cutter like I did and just cut around the shape. (The sliced off piece of potato with the negative stamp makes for a great stamp too!
*Dip potato in paint and you are ready to make a beautiful work of art!
*Another great idea is to use fabric paint and stamp on aprons, bags, etc. I've even seen Martha Stewart stamp with potatoes or apples on canvas bags she uses for her Groceries!
As you can see, Syd and Mia and Colby really got into it... In fact they just kept going and going as you can see from ALL the pictures drying outside. Thank heavens for lots of construction paper around here! Oh- and we just use that Washable Crayola paint and it works great!
