Make two or three layers of tissue paper. Let dry overnight. Carefully peel away the wax paper. Pour different colors of paints into separate shallow dishes. Provide a variety of circular items for students to print with.
Items can include corks, film canisters, lids, plastic spools, and bottle tops.
Direct child to use the objects to print caterpillars onto paper. When dry, invite child to draw eyes, legs, antennae, and a background. Lay the top of a table knife flat on the paper. Trace around the knife onto the paper. Move the knife and trace it again right next to the first drawing.
