Materials Needed:
- Corncobs
- Paper Towels
- Styrofoam Plate, Meat Tray, or Other Shallow Dish
- Construction Paper
- Paint
Instructions:
If you have fresh, empty corn cobs, clean theme and let them dry for a few days.
Fold a paper towel into 4ths and lay it on the bottom of the styrofoam plate, etc. Pour paint into the center of the paper towel to make it into a stamp pad.
Dip the corncob into the paint. Dab it around on the paper towel to wipe off excess paint, and then press it onto the paper or other surface to make a unique print.
Experiment by dipping different parts of the corncob in the paint; dip the side, dip the end, cut the cob in half and try printing that way! Instead of pressing the corncob on the paper, try rolling it around!
You can also use fabric paint and make a T-shirt, towels, etc!
