Tater Stampers

When F came over to play yesterday, I decided to try making some stamps out of potatoes. I cut a potato in half and used little cookie cutters (Pampered Chef) to press some shapes. Then I cut around the cookie cutter with a knife and pulled out the cutter to reveal a pretty nice stamp!


The girls liked it - C more than F. F got the neat idea of painting her potato! Unfortunately she was using brown paint at the time, so it didn't show up much. Kristi said she was probably trying to put the peel back on. :-) This was fun, and I will probably do it again!

How creative. We might have to steal that idea because Brayden loves any craft that he can get really messy with.

We may steal that idea, too--we're going to decorate wrapping paper for the holidays...

What a great idea! What kind of paint do you use?

We just use the Crayola washable Kids' paint. And it is very washable. TRUST ME.
