Potato Printing
We did this project last year and really liked the results. This year we made wrapping paper for Noah's birthday next week. We carved our designs into potato halves and dried the potatoes with some paper towel to get rid of extra moisture. We brushed on black acrylic paint with a sponge brush. Then just printed away!
