This stamping art can be done with one child as well as in larger groups (adult supervision is always required for younger children).
How to make mashed potato stamping art
What you need:
- Potato masher – the more shapes, the more fun, but it’s okay if you only use one
- Washable paint
- paper
- paper plate or tray
Step-by-step instructions
Paper plates come in really handy for projects like this, especially if you don’t have a tray for this purpose.
Pour paint into tray or plate. You can work with one type of paint or use a variety of colors.
We recommend less paint if you’re working with a child and more paint if you’re working with a larger group. This will prevent paint from being wasted.
Eco-friendly tip: if you use paper plates, apply paint to the entire paper plate when finished. You can use painted paper plates to make fun paper plate crafts with your kids later.
Dip the potato masher in the paint. If you have a larger group, you can use a grinder with a paint.
Prepare paper fabric.
Have your child choose a color and/or potato masher and stamp it on the paper.
They can stamp once or they can print more copies.
Use another potato masher or dip the same potato in another color and start stamping.
The different shapes make this activity so much more fun.
If you have another shape, use it to create even cooler patterns.
After completing the stamping, let the paint dry.
