Tips
Little ones will enjoy simply stamping. Different colors and different stamps will keep their attention.
Be sure to use washable paint, especially with the littlest ones. You’ll be glad you did!
Older kids might like to use the Pool Noodle Craft Stamps as part of a larger piece of artwork. The stamp could be used for tires when painting a picture of a race car or as the flower when painting a picture of a garden.
Be sure to give them a large piece of craft paper to work on. If you use larger pool noodles for this project, they could use up a LOT of paper!

Materials

- Craft Paint

- Rags

Tools

Instructions
- Use a serrated knife or box cutter to cut pool noodles into 2-3 inch long sections. Cut the edges straight so they are nice and even.
- Use a paper plate to squirt out some craft paint for dipping. Smooth it out a little to allow the whole end of the pool noodle to grab some paint.
- Dip the end of the pool noodle into the paint and press firmly. Blot it a few times on a paper towel to smooth the paint out evenly.
- Press the pool noodle firmly onto the paper to create your masterpiece.
- Wa La! So cute! If you're "just stamping", you're all done. (Unless you want to stamp some more.)
