Print It: Ms. Vetch & Ms.Opsahl

For this project, Ms. Opsahl and Ms. Vetch taught inspired us by the book, "Easter Egg Farm."  After reading the story we designed our own egg on a piece of paper.  We then imprinted the design on a meat tray.  Afterwards we soaked the trays in paint and put them on paper.  For this project, we used printmaking paint.  We had to firmly pat down on the meattray to make sure the entire shape had set.  We tested it by pulling up a small corner.  We chose four different colors to use.  Afterwards, we pasted them down on construction paper.

An extension activity we could use would be to discuss eggs.  We could research what animals come in an egg and such.
