(I accidentally cut off Mickey's ears when I took this picture. Sorry, Mickey!)
Need:
-paper (we tested first on scrap paper and used nice card stock quality paper for the final product.)
-paint
-paper plate or similar for dipping the print into the paint
-items for printing: we used recycled containers in various shapes (good way to teach shapes including 2D shapes to children by the way), wrapped a long piece of yarn around and affixed with tape.
-your child's imagination
-mop and bucket to clean up. This is an easy crafty project but very messy!
-picture frame if your li'l' buccaneer has created a masterpiece by all means frame it! (*Gold gilt frame being the crew's preference.)

Notes from the Ebony Oyster Crafty Crew: We didn't have too much time to be overly creative with our choice of printing material due to the fact our ship was rocking terrible like from a sudden hailstorm! Effervescent Ethel says the designs look like "Chinese words". This was our first attempt at printmaking but certainly not our last!
This project will work for all age levels and you're only limited by your imagination. Cap'n always says: "If we ain't got no buttons nor sequins thar be always paper 'n' whitewash!
