SPONGE STAMPS

Even the youngest children will enjoy this activity.

Sponges cut in various shapes
Tub of water
Paper towels

Give the sponge to an infant to feel and squeeze. Then moisten it with water and let him feel the difference. Then help him make prints on the paper towel. Or play with the sponges in a tub of water. (Set the water on a towel on the kitchen floor) Supervise closely as always when water is involved.
Older children can use sponges to "stamp" designs on construction paper with paint.
