Stamp pad leaf art

I was working on a craft project using some stamp ink and my preschooler discovered she could make her own leaf art using the stamp pads. We used the small stamp pads directly on paper to create a leaf shape. It was really fun to try the different colors in the stamp set and see what kind of picture we could make.

How to make your own stamp pad leaf art:

  1. Using the stamp pads, create leaf shaped designs on the paper

  3. Using a marker, draw on the different leaves to create fun effects.
