Stamp 1:
You will need:
You will need:
- Cardboard or Sponge
- String
- Scissors
- Glue
Cut a small piece of cardboard or a piece of sponge. Cut some pieces of string off. Glue your string to your cardboard/sponge in any pattern you like and leave to dry.
Once dry, take a brush and paint onto the string (trying to avoid the cardboard/sponge backing). Then use your stamp on your piece of paper.
Have a think about what kind of design you could make. A letter, a stick figure or something random?

If any of your saw our caterpillar printing video last week (blog post here), you'll know that we used big and mini marshmallows as stamps. Take your marshmallow and dip it into the paint and then dab onto your paper.
Stamp 5:

Take a drinking straw and dip the end into your paint. Dab this onto your paper to create small circles.
Stamp 6:
You will need:
Take a milk carton lid. If you use to open side, you can create an open circle. If you dip the closed size you can create a full, closed circle. You could also use a lid instead of cardboard or a sponge for Stamp 1.
You will need:
- Cotton Bud

If you have an old make up brush lying around, use this to dip into your paint. I used a stippling brush for our stamp, but see how other brushes work when you dab them.
