Indian Corn Bubble Wrap Printmaking

The girls and I made these bubble wrap

corn cards last year

to send to family and friends

that wouldn't be with us to celebrate

Thanksgiving. 

I thought I'd re-post this craft

in case you want to recreate it 

with your own children

or in your classroom this year. 

Start with some scraps of plastic bubble wrap.

Paint with layers of orange,

yellow, and red washable tempera or acrylic craft paint.

Press your painted bubble wrap 

onto sheets of brown, orange, yellow

construction paper. 

(Brown paper grocery bags would be cool too!)  

Keep some baby wipes or a wet rag handy

to clean up painty fingers and hands as you work!

After the paint has dried, 

trace your child's feet to make the corn cobs

and let them cut them out. 

Happy Bubble Wrap Printing! 

Fondly,

pink and green mama,
