Who this list is for
This sponge stamp garden path craft is for 7-year-olds painting a garden scene built around paths, stepping stones, and plants. It is more focused than general stamp art, using repeated sponge prints and paper flower cutouts.
How to use this list
Cover the table with the disposable table cover and place heavyweight drawing paper flat. Pour green, brown, gray, and yellow washable tempera paint into separate paint trays. Use kitchen sponges to stamp grass, pathways, and stepping stones, then add paint details with the foam paintbrush. Glue paper flower cutouts into the garden after the paint has dried enough.
Common mistakes
Do not dip the kitchen sponges too deeply into the paint trays, or the prints will blur. Keep brown and gray prints for paths and stepping stones rather than mixing every color together. Wait until the drawing paper is mostly dry before using glue sticks for the paper flowers.
What is on this list
You need two heavyweight drawing paper sheets, three kitchen sponges, and washable tempera paint in green, brown, gray, and yellow. The checklist also includes four paint trays, 12 paper flower cutouts, two glue sticks, one foam paintbrush, a disposable table cover, and paper towels. Cross off the items you already have.
When you are done
Leave the garden scenes flat until both paint and glue are dry. Use paper towels to wipe the paint trays and foam paintbrush, then save unused flower cutouts for a second path scene.
