Printing with Cardboard: 1st Grade Printmaking Project

Collage of children's artwork, text reads "1st Grade Printmaking with Cardboard Strips" on a light blue background.

Are you looking for a fun and easy printmaking activity with your youngest students?  This one is always a hit and allows the students to be creative and expressive.

A 1st-grade printmaking project featuring five childlike drawings of people in diverse colors and styles displayed in a collage, created by printing with cardboard. A colorful child's drawing of a person with instructions on how to create printed faces using cardboard and paint, making it an enjoyable printmaking project for 1st graders. Three children's drawings: a detailed person with red patches, another in colorful clothing, and an abstract scene with blue. This 1st Grade printmaking project beautifully integrates printing with cardboard methods.

  1. Love printing, any way you can do it! I haven’t done portraits yet, but I have done architecture and robots. Cardboard tubes work well for curves. Will give it a try!
