Now that you have your board (mine was roughly 6-inches by 6-inches), you’re ready to make a reverse wood-cut print. I adore wood-cut prints, but with a young child this technique isn’t practical. Instead of having your little one cut into the wood, he can build up on top of it to create a stamper that he’ll use with paint. As a bonus, you can wipe the paint off and reuse it. Create a “Dad” sign or use the stamper to print Father’s Day cards. You can also try this project when making other types (i.e., non-Father’s Day) art.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
A piece of wood (pine works well)
·
Model Magic (you can also try modeling
clay, but I found that the Model Magic sticks to the wood better)
·
Tempera paint
·
A paintbrush
·
Craft sticks
·
Paper
·
A marker
Here’s What You’ll Need to Do:
1. Write
the letters “DAD” on the board with a marker. Here’s the trick – the D’s have
to be backwards (the A looks the same either way). When your child makes the
print the letters will show up like a mirror image, so writing the word
backwards makes the final product come out correctly. If he’s struggling to
write the letters backwards, have your child write both D’s, leaving a space in
between. Flip the board over (magic – they are backwards) and write an A in
between.
2. Have
your child cover the letter lines with Model Magic. Make sure it’s raised off
of the surface.
3. Use
a craft stick to create a pattern in the clay compound.
4. Paint
the letters with tempera. Don’t worry if your child gets paint on the wood.
It’s not likely to show up in the print.
5. Place
a piece of paper on your work surface. Turn the painted wood stamper over and
press it against the paper. Have your child pat it like a drum. He doesn’t need
to squish the clay onto the paper.
6. Pull
the paper off of the wood stamper to reveal the print!
What a great idea. Could do this will almost anything.
