{Play} Potato Stamping
July 15, 2011 in All Posts, Play, Toddler Activities
This toddler activity is an old favorite from my own childhood. Nothing like some good ol’ fashioned potato stamping fun, or “playing Juicy,” as Jane calls it.
It’s so simple, you have no excuse not to try this. Unless, of course, you’re planning to serve the potatoes for dinner.
Step 1
Cut a potato in half and carve out a shape for your stamp.
Step 2
Mix food coloring and water to make stamping ink.
Step 3
Stamp away!
Not part of the potato stamping process, but part of Jane’s fun: drawing on the paper with crayons dipped in the ink!
