Potato Art

Today Makena and I created potato art. We cut two potatoes in half. Then we drew a shape on them with pencil and I carved it out with a knife. Makena chose a star, square, oval, and triangle. Using the potato stamps, we dipped them into tempra paint and placed them on paper. After making five or six stamps, Makena decided to dip each potato stamper in all four colors to make it "pretty". She was right! It looked so pretty and she enjoyed mixing the colors to make new colors. Now, as you all know Makena, she had to again mix it up and wanted to use a variety of things to paint with. So we added a sponge, brush, and round sponge stamper. It was a lot of fun!
