Overlapping Circles Printmaking Project

Save your paper towel or toilet paper rolls for this very simple printmaking project.
1. Students use a cardboard roll dipped in black tempera paint to print lots of circles on a large sheet of paper. Let dry.
2. Each circle is colored in with a crayon. Overlaps will create new and interesting colors. Easy-peesy with minimal mess.

If you don't want to save paper towel roll, I went to Lowes and purchased 30 smal pieces of PVC pipe from the plumbing department! Yes, it cost a little $$$, but not that much and now I have them!

When I did this project last year, we used cardboard tubes combined with styrofoam cups for 2 sizes of circles.

I had some old marker caps that I will use with the kindergarteners to do this project.
