  • Join to access all included materials

Using Styrofoam trays, kindergartners carve and create their own prints. They create an image in the Styrofoam, ink it up, and then use it to create prints. It would be great to mention and show how ink blocks or block prints have been used throughout history and even in tagging and pop culture. You may have the next Hiroshige on your hands.
