Who this list is for
This sponge stamp art supply list is for adults preparing a washable paint activity for seven-year-olds. It is built around simple sponge shapes, repeated patterns, and a protected table.
How to use this list
Cover the table before opening the washable tempera paint. Set out heavyweight white paper, paper plates for paint palettes, or plastic paint trays. Use pencils and cookie cutters to trace shapes onto clean kitchen sponges, then cut those shapes with child-safe scissors. Offer foam paint brushes for paint that needs spreading rather than stamping.
Common mistakes
Do not use thin paper that buckles quickly under tempera paint; heavyweight white paper holds up better. Avoid pouring too much paint onto each paper plate or tray at once. Sponges should be clean and cut into manageable shapes. Keep washable smocks and paper towels close by instead of looking for them after paint reaches sleeves or the table.
What is on this list
The supplies include clean kitchen sponges, washable tempera paint, heavyweight white paper, paper plates, plastic paint trays, child-safe scissors, pencils, cookie cutters, foam paint brushes, washable smocks, a table covering, and paper towels. Cross off any paint tools and cleanup supplies you already own.
Before you begin
Put on smocks, cover the work area, and label paint areas by color if several children are sharing. Give each child paper before paint is distributed. Reserve a dry spot for finished stamped artwork and use paper towels to wipe hands, brushes, and table edges as the activity goes.
