Worcester and Droitwich Branch A cracking idea for an Easter craft! Duplo printed Easter cards Duplo and painting are two of my daughter Isla's favourite things. So when I suggested to her that we combine the two to make some Easter cards, it was instantly popular. Printmaking is always a big hit with my nearly three-year-old, and this method of stamping with Duplo bricks was no different. Quick to do, simple enough that she can do it independently, and looks good! You will need: Duplo bricks – I just used the 8hole blocks, but a variety of sizes would be good. Paint - I used poster paint from Early Learning Centre Coloured card or paper Blank cards Simply stamp all over the sheets of paper or card with the Duplo and paint, and then leave to dry. Cut out an egg shape (I drew around an egg shaped biscuit cutter) and stick it on to the blank card. Voila! Instead of making cards, why not string up a garland of stamped egg shapes to create some Easter bunting? Or create an Easter tree by hanging small egg shapes from a branch in a vase. *Original idea from The Imagination Tree www.imaginationtree.comhttp://theimaginationtree.com/2014/04/ lego-duplo-print-easter-egg-cards.html * Helen Mckinnon Worcester and Droitwich Branch Spring 2015 21
