Printing for Kids- 20+ Easy Printmaking Ideas
Check out over twenty fun and easy ideas for printing with kids!
What exactly is printmaking?
Printmaking is one of my very favorite art processes to explore with kids.
Printing covers a huge variety of processes and materials- lots of which you already have!
Printmaking is an artistic process that involves transferring an image from one surface (a matrix) to another, often paper or fabric. Explore a few different varieties of the printmaking process that are perfect for kids!
Best first printing for kids experience…
This found object printing is perhaps the most basic printmaking for kids process I’ll show you but also one of the most fun!
Go on a treasure hunt and gather up some unique shaped objects and begin printing! I’ll also show you how to simplify this process by using only one color of paint to print and adding color later!
I want to explore found object printing with my kids!
Printing robots…
Explore two different ways to build your own robots through the printmaking process. Choose to start printing with kids using a collection of boxes, spools, and other found objects or Lego.

Printmaking with an emphasis on texture…
Use scraps of wood and washable markers to explore the element of texture.
Then use the resulting prints to “build” an architectural collage.

Make your own stamps….
Stamping is one of the simplest forms of printmaking for kids to explore. Try this DIY stamp made from puffy paint and up-cycled wine corks.

Print your own pet portraits…
This printmaking process for kids involves drawing on a slick surface with a washable marker and transferring the drawing to a second paper.
Kids can trace an image or draw their own original drawing for printing. Add colors with marker or crayon!
Psst… this same process can be used with any subjects, not just pets.

Printing for kids using styrofoam…
We all know that styrofoam isn’t exactly environmentally friendly but it’s definitely a material that is easy to up-cycle and give another use.
I want to try the basic Styrofoam printing process!
Styrofoam is perfect for a very basic form of relief printing for kids to explore.
Instead of “carving” away material the Styrofoam is soft enough to be depressed down by drawing with a dull pencil. Only the remaining high areas of the image will print.
I want to print butterflies!
I want to learn how to use washable markers when making Styrofoam prints
Linoleum printing for kids…
Linoleum printing is a process best reserved for kids on the older elementary through middle school aged because it does require using a sharp carving tool to carve away the linoleum material.
I want to see the introduction to linoleum printing!
Once your kids have a bit of experience with linoleum printing try this fun portrait printing lesson. You’ll want some fun selfie pics to start this lesson with!
I want to print two value portraits!
Crayon printmaking for kids….
Use crayons and sandpaper for a printmaking project that’s suitable for any age. Focus on texture or color with these graphic prints!

"Children's typography" by the hands of children, as an element of the "speaking environment". Using the "Children's Typography" in preparation for teaching literacy.
| Educational and methodological material on teaching literacy (senior group) on the topic: Published on 17.03.2018 - 21:19 - Fedorenko Marianna Viktorovna
Using the "Children's Typography" set in preparation for learning to read and write. "Children's typography" by the hands of children.
Colleagues, I want to introduce you to the "Children's Typography" set by the "National Education" publishing house, which has become one of my children's favorite hobbies in kindergarten!
The set consists of 84 wooden stamps - letters of the Russian alphabet and punctuation marks. The stamps are joined together with the help of a wooden spike connection. A notebook with exciting tasks has been developed for this set.
With the help of stamps, the child will get acquainted with the letters and learn how to form words from them. Children who are familiar with letters will find extensive use of "Children's Typography" in their games, hobbies and creativity.
Preprinted letterheads, medical prescriptions, menus, announcements will make role-playing and other games and activities even more “real”. "Typography" will become indispensable in the creation of postcards and posters, children's books, babies and the design of other educational and creative children's projects.
The work in the notebook is structured in such a way that the child is enthusiastically involved in the work. For beginners, it is proposed to get acquainted with the alphabet - print all the letters according to the model. Then the letters are added into syllables. After the child is visually and auditory familiar with the letters, he is offered the tasks “Insert the missing letter”, choosing from a number of suggested ones. Further, work is proposed on compiling semantic series - sentences. All work is built in a playful way that attracts the attention of children.
The guys of our group, having got acquainted with the "Children's printing house", offered to make a printing house with their own hands.
We supported the children's initiative and prepared material for making a printing house. So, from waste material, plasticine and gouache, an element of a "speaking environment" created by the hands of children was obtained. And the guys felt like real inventors!
The main task of the "Children's Printing House" is to instill in the child the feeling that the Russian language is so interesting!
