Tape the construction paper to the table, and set the cookie cutters out for your child to choose from. Choose a cutter yourself and demonstrate how to dip it into the paint, holding the sides so that fingers don\u2019t touch the paint. Make a print and pick up the cutter. Dip it again and make another print. It\u2019s okay if the paint colors start to blend\u2014the effect of the blended colors is quite pleasing. Let your child try it. Often young children will try to rub the cookie cutter all over the paper, rather than make a print and lift it up to make another print. That\u2019s fine, as children need a chance to explore the process and the materials so they can develop their own creative style. Art is always about the process, not the product!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/files\/2019\/05\/Cookie-Cutter-Art-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/files\/2019\/05\/Cookie-Cutter-Art-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/sites\/acorn\/files\/2019\/05\/Cookie-Cutter-Art-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Star-shaped cookie cutters of various sizesStyrofoam meat trayRed, white, and blue tempera paintWhite construction paper Directions:\u00a0Pour a small amount of each paint color into the meat tray.
