Playful Printing

A simple printmaking activity, using paper stencils and every day objects from around the home to create layered prints.


This activity may require some help from an adult.


See the short creative tutorial video below for Art Club home-based learning


Explore differently textured objects, colour effects and layering techniques to create your own unique prints.


To create your stencils you can use a hand held shape punch, or paper can be folded in half to cut out your own stencils.


You will need:

  • Some sheets of A4 Paper

  • Paint

  • Paintbrushes

  • Small sponges - I cut up a dishwashing sponge

  • Masking tape - to hold your paper and any masking templates in place

  • Scissors


For printing:

  • Bottle tops

  • Pre-cut cardboard shapes

  • Bubble wrap

  • String-to wrap around cardboard

  • Rubber-bands to wrap around cardboard

  • Toilet roll tube - to print circle outlines or to make a printing roller by wrapping string, rubber bands or bubble wrap around the tube.

  • Screw heads, nuts, bolts and washers,

  • Styrofoam

  • Lego

What else can you find that you could use to make a print?


Think carefully about your composition, experiment and have fun!
