We used the acrylic surfaces of our cat boxes as the base for our prints as they were the perfect shape and size. The children chose their colours of paint and used rollers to spread the paint out of their surfaces.
Once the surface was covered the children used the tips of cotton wool buds to draw a design in their paint. They really enjoyed this! We had combinations of mums, dads and the children's houses as well as a dinosaur. An older child chose to draw a flower and combined several colours of paint.
Once the design was done we lay white sheets of paper over the paint and the children had great fun pressing the paper down evenly as hard as they could.
The results were good although the plastic left a mottled effect over the paper, next time we will use a different surface to enable the children's designs to stand out more.
