Sponge Printing

As rainy season is not over yet, we still keep ourselves occupied with some indoor activities. This is what we needed for the activity. Any poster/water colours, a plate and some sponges. I cut the sponge into shapes so, I can teach Syuen shapes.

We used a plate because we wanted to create mixed-colour effect.

I asked Ning to take the sponge and press it on the paper but she went wild with it.

She is not interested to work with the sponge. In the end, she asked for the paint brush.

Her second round of painting...hehehe..

Syuen is doing her sponge printing happily.

Tips of the day:

• To prevent the water from spilling, I used a wide adhesive tape as the cup holder. It is heavy enough to prevent the cup from falling as the girls stirring or washing their brushes. Note: an used-up adhesive tape is not heavy enough to hold the cup in place.

• This is our recycle brush holder. A fantastic way to organize the brush and to dry the brush after wash.

A sneak preview of the master piece :)

Syuen's master piece, the outcome is not what we expected. The print is not clear due to the sponge quality. We will try to use other type of sponge the next time, hopefully we can get a better print.
