What we used to make the School Cookie Cutter Stamping Painting
How we made the School Cookie Cutter Stamping Painting
You will see the steps below that we did to make the school cookie cutter painting.
Step 1: Spread Paint Around with Cookie Cutter
You put the paint on the paper plate or a paint tray. You can change up what colors you use for each cookie cutter.
Use the cookie cutter to spread the paint around on the plate to cover the cookie cutter’s edges.
Step 2: Stamp the Cookie Cutter on the Paper
Then you want to stamp the cookie cutter on the paper.
With each cookie cutter, you can stamp as many or as few times as you want. This is about having fun while painting, not following a set pattern.
If you need more paint, put the cookie cutter on the paper plate and stamp again.
Step 3: Stamp With Different School Cookie Cutters
You can use all the cookie cutters or just a few cookie cutters. You can see how adding each cookie cutter changes up how the painting looks.
Step 4: They Decide How To Paint
Cookie cutter stamping painting is an open ended painting activity. You can paint however you want.
If kids want to slide a cookie cutter around the page. That is just fine.
They only want to do one cookie cutter. That is fine. Let kids decide how their cookie cutter painting will look. This is about having fun not having just one correct way to paint with the cookie cutters.
