Use TP or paper towel rolls to create tools to make art. 

For this activity you will need the following items:

• TP or Paper Towel Rolls
• Tempera Paint
• Construction Paper
• Tissue Paper
• Paper
• Scissors
• Optional: paint brushes

Now here’s what you do:

1. Use scissors to cut lines up the cardboard tube.
   1. Shapes to consider: small lines, thick lines, triangles, wavy lines
   2. Do NOT cut the pieces off of the roll
2. Fan the cut pieces out from the roll
3. Either dip or use a brush to put paint on the pieces you fanned
4. Hold the uncut part of the roll and press the painted ends to the paper.
5. What kind of shape did your stamp make? Can you make more and different shapes?
6. Now, what can you turn your artwork into? A flower? A tree? An abstract piece of art? Use the construction paper and tissue paper to complete your picture.

Don’t forget to show us your art! We can’t wait to see what you made.
