The print making lesson was taught by Allison Vetch and Laura Opsahl. They taught us different terms that were related to print making such as roller. We had to draw a sketch of what was going to be on our egg. They chose eggs, because it's close to Easter. We could decorate it however we wanted to. We then had to take our meat foam trays and press the part we didn't want to print, down. After we went through that step, we went to the ink. We had to make sure that the art was evenly laid out on the foam tray. We then placed a piece of paper on top of our meat trays, and pressed firmly. We had to let them air dry as we continued to do three more. After they were dry, we had to place them on a piece of construction paper with our name on the bottom.
For an extension activity, I would have students place all their different eggs together and place them in a basket drawn on a bulletin board. This way the class would have a basket full of their eggs for a display for Easter. To go with the egg theme, you could teach students how to write a poem. They could write a short poem and write it on one of their eggs. You could then display it on the walls of the hallway in your school.
