Straw Printing

Straw Printing is a great way to paint with minimal mess. Although I don't mind mess, sometimes it is nice to keep it contained!
This was really simple, I cut the end of the straws to make four or five individual sections and then spread them out ready to dip into the paint and print away.

What we started with straws, card to print on and thick paint (we used crayola finger paint).

The straws were really easy for the children to grip and held the paint well.

Miss G experimenting with spreading the paint using the straw.

Master E decided that hitting the straw down onto the page made a great effect.

One of the finished Masterpieces, I love the way it resembles fireworks!
