Potato Print Patterns

Materials
1 large potato
Tempera Paint
Strips of construction paper approx. 4×12 inches

Directions
Cut the potato into 4 thick sections. Pour tempera paint onto paper plates. Tape a strip of construction paper onto the table surface. Make an interesting shape or simple design into each section of the potato. Invite your child to dip 1-2 sections of potato into paint and create their own own repeating pattern, copy an example of a pattern, or extend a pattern that has been started.
