The unique look of printed images can be spotted a mile off. However letterpresses are not something everyone has lying around at home and screen printing can be a complex process to the uninitiated.Enter the humble take-away carton and a bit of recycling!
Follow this tutorial for foam printing from The Meta Picture via Total Art Soul and save up those pieces of foam that are usually thrown away.
Allow your little one to doodle away using an ordinary pencil, add a lick of paint, press some paper onto the carved foam, peel off and finally admire your brood's talent.
This craft is not just limited to the young either, there's no reason why you can't ditch the lino cutter in favour of the easy to carve polystyrene box!
