Printmaking for Kids via Lessons Learnt Journal

I am continually blown away by people’s creativity, especially as I read through amazing blogs, skim through my Facebook newsfeed, engage with people on Instagram, and of course as I browse through Pinterest. It’s simply wonderful and opens my eyes to the many brilliant and fun things I can create and explore with my children.

As I look through the collection of kids activities linked up at the Kids’ Co-Op, week after week, I am so grateful to be part of a wonderful blogging community. This week, I would like to share with you some creative printmaking for kids. I once asked the community on my Lessons Learnt Journal Facebook Page, “What do your kids love to print with?”. The replies I received helped our household through a week of wet weather. I have the brains trust at my finger tips – brilliant much?

Happy playing, because #playmatters.
