Fruit & Veggie Stamp Friends

Fruit and Veggie Stamp Friends

Make fun paint stamps out of fall harvest vegetables and fruits! Use carrots, squash, apples, and anything else that strikes your fancy.

What You’ll Need

  • Carrots, apples, and yellow squash
  • Paint: red, yellow, orange, light blue, green and white
  • Paintbrush
  • Black marker
  • Art paper

How To Make It

  1. Have an adult slice the vegetables and fruits in half lengthwise. Dry off the cut sides by blotting them with a paper towel.
  2. Paint each cut side with a generous amount of paint. Press painted side on to paper and remove. Do this for as many veggie and fruit stamps you want.
  3. When the paint is dry, draw eyes, mouths, arms and legs with black marker.
  4. Dip a dry paintbrush in green paint, dab off excess on paper towels. Paint grass on paper. Use same dry brush method when using the light blue paint for the sky.
  5. Dip a clean paint brush into white paint, but don’t dry off on paper towel. Lightly dab the paintbrush onto the paper to create clouds.

Helpful Tips:

  • Fall brings plenty of fun shaped squash and gourds. Try different types of gourds, miniature pumpkins, and squash with this project.
  • Apples make great caterpillars! Stamp the vegetable onto the paper horizontally and add as many legs as you like.
  • Alter this project for spring by using apples and carrots and bright colors such as pink, yellow, and bright orange.

This project was created by Amanda Formaro, originally for Kaboose/Spoonful.
