Fruit and vegetable prints

Children love to see all the different designs they can create with fruits and vegetables. You can do this just for fun, or to create something special such as a present for Grandma.

What you'll need

Fruits and vegetables
Paint or an ink pad

What to do

Cut the fruit and vegetables to different shapes (this is a job for you!). Potatoes are cheap and good for cutting into different shapes, peppers cut in half horizontally make shamrock designs, and corn on the cob could be used as a rolling pin, either whole or after it's been eaten.

Dip the fruit or vegetables lightly in ink or paint and stamp on to the paper. Let your child experiment with different colours and how much paint to use. Keep a cup of water handy so your child can wash the fruit and vegetables before using a different colour.
