Printmaking gives you a way to make a design over and over. There are lots of ways to make prints using paper, blocks and even leaves!

Fold your paper in half. Then, open it up and paint only on one side of the fold. Fold your paper again and press down on it When you open the paper, both sides will be printed with the same image.

Using wood alphabet blocks with raised letters, dip each block into a pie pan filled with tempera paint. Press the block onto construction paper, then lift it off, straight up. Spell your word in reverse order. Then, hold your paper up to a mirror to decode!

Use any small objects, such as combs, glasses, jar lids, containers, cookie cutters, etc. Dip objects, one at a time, into tempera paint. Press the object onto construction paper, then lift it off, straight up.

With the leaf on a baking pan or foam tray, apply an even coat of paint onto the vein-side of the leaf. Paint may be applied with a roller or with brushes. Place a sheet of paper on top of the painted side of the leaf and rub gently with your fingers. Remove the paper and allow time for the paint to dry.

• When done on large paper, any of these prints can be used as wrapping paper.
