We were in need of a rainy day activity. I had just binned some sprouting potatoes. An idea was born: potato printing. I retrieved the discarded potatoes and we set to work on making our stamps.<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/p>\n

Making the stamps<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Cut the potatoes in half<\/li>\n
  2. Blot with kitchen towel or leave to dry out a bit (they hold the paint better that way)<\/li>\n
  3. If you’ve got some, make the print by pushing cookie cutters into the flat side of the potato and cutting around. It’s much easier than drawing on a design and cutting around it<\/li>\n
  4. Put the paint onto the print either by painting on using a paintbrush or just by sploding directly into the paint<\/li>\n
  5. Remove excess paint and away you go<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
