Blockprinting

Don't handmade pieces have such an appeal? Especially one that a child makes and can use.

Sometimes at parties that have mixed age ranges, finding engaging activities for older children can be a challenge. Block printing is a perfect party activity for school aged children! We started with block printing a dino on the front of the shirt and added a bit of color. The child's name went on the left sleeve.

This would work as such a fab favor for a dino themed event!

The wood block pictured is from a fair trade artisan workshop in India. We sent them sketches of the blocks we wanted - they were all outlines of animals that would appeal to kids. This isn't something that the block carver had done before, but he was up for the challenge and we think he did great.
