Wax Paper Printmaking was a really fun painting activity that both of my daughters enjoyed.  I'd been wanting to do some sort of printmaking with them, since we've been exploring different types of process art lately.  I chose to use wax paper because it was SUPER easy and I had it in my drawer ready to go!  You probably have some in your drawers, too, so you have everything that you need to do this fun painting activity today!

Time for the big reveal!  Peel the paper up slowly and check out your print!  You can reuse the same sheet of wax paper a few times, adding additional paint or changing the design slightly.

This was such a fun way to spend our morning.  One of my favorite things about process art is that it is so easy to just enjoy being together without worrying about a finished product looking "just right."  We spent our time painting, printing, laughing, singing, and smiling.  Try some Wax Paper Printmaking with your kids today!
