Rubber is easy to carve and with a harder grade, even small details are possible.
Many people consider rubber stamps a crafts project but it lends itself well to introducing children to tools and proper cutting techniques that carry over into the fine arts realm of printmaking. Today we will be using linoleum cutting tools and Speedball's Speedy Stamp blocks. Adult supervision for this project is very important to insure safe cutting, especially with children under the age of 10. It is easier for a child to carve if the block is stationary and they don't have to hold the block down. Older kids using proper cutting technique may not need the block attached.
