Vegetable Print Shop

Give your kids a new perspective on their fruits and veggies. Julie Adowitt sheds new light on the fruit and vegetable syndrome by using them to create pictures. She takes printmaking one step further by using sliced artichokes, apples and pears as printmaking tools. Aside from the conventional tempera paint method, your children can even use food coloring, so they can eat their tools after they are done printing. Your child can finally take a real interest in fruits and veggies by seeing the patterns that can be made. A simple potato peeler can create new patterns and designs. This may even help in the popular fight at the dinner table. Ages 4-8 years.
