Make Shamrocks Prints with Peppers

Last week we used green pepper slices and green paint to make shamrock prints!  See how a sliced pepper looks just like a shamrock?

To make the prints all you need to do is slice some peppers, pour paint into a dish, and let them create!

I gave my two year old the top of the pepper with the stem so she would have something to hold onto, but thick slices of pepper work too.

As you can see she had a blast!  She loved experimenting with the pepper and pushed and twisted and dotted to see what different effects it would have on her paper.

If you’ve never done this before you have to try it!  Even if it’s not near St. Patrick’s Day.  The next time you cut a top off a veggie that you are going to get rid off clean it off and offer it to your kids to paint with — it will definitely keep them occupied while you cook!
