Provide a shallow container such as a pie tin to hold paint and several different kinds of potato mashers including some with a grid design and others that are curvy and snake-like. Show the children how to press the masher in the paint and then onto the paper. Encourage them to make several different prints. After the prints are dry, look at their pictures together and say, “Tell me how you did this.” Encourage them to talk about the process of dipping the masher in the paint and pressing it onto the paper.
