String Block Printing

String Block Printing

Posted 2013-06-13 by Oxford Explorerfollow
Printing and stamping is a fun way to make unusual patterns. String block printing is easy for preschoolers who like fast results and bold patterns.



You could do the printing on a large piece of paper and use it as wrapping paper for a present just like we did.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Under 5's
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Empty box that's comfortable for a toddler to pick up in one hand (we used an empty egg box)
  • String
  • Paint
  • Paper

  • Method
  • Wrap string around the box in several directions and secure with a knot.



  • Spread paint out in a container.
  • Lay out a sheet of paper and you're ready to get printing.
  • Your child can hold the string covered box, dip in the paint and stamp all over the paper.





  • You can stick to one colour or try more.



  • If you like printing with string, you could try other techniques like potato printing or string painting .
