Print It!

This project was called Print It! It was really fun because we got to use ink. It was really good timing to do this project with Easter eggs because it was right around the time of Easter break. For this project, we had to use meat trays and carving tools to design our egg. Once we have carved our design deep enough into our meat try, then we rolled the ink onto the tray and pressed the paper onto our tray. After we did that, we had a nice result of our design. We had to do it in at least four different colors. Then, we had to paste our finished products onto a piece of construction paper for display.

As an extension activity, I would do this project as an ice breaker activity. You could have people work in partners and design each other's egg. They would be required to ask at least three questions about the other person so that they could have enough ideas to create the other persons egg. Then, they would make at least one print for them, and then the other person would have a chance to do the one that the partner designed.
