I was so inspired when I saw this photo.
I had to try it with the kids! We had plenty of small teddies and lots of washable paint. So we dived straight in! Some of the bears needed a little stuffing removed from their noses to make good prints. We made ink pads from takeaway containers and sponges. Which is a great idea because you can just pop the lid on until next time!
We liked it so much, we took it a long to our workshops!

Fabulous idea. I’m not sure my children would let me use any of their teddies but I could always buy a few from a charity shop.
🙂 Charity shop teddies would be perfect. They did clean up fine in the washing machine as we used Crayola washable paint . So no teddies were harmed in the process!
Ha ha,that’s good to hear. I must get some crayola washable paint. We have some so called washable paint but I find it never comes off even with pre spray which makes painting rather worrying sometimes as I can’t keep replacing all the kids clothes everytime. We love painting in this house so I will defo look for the crayola ones, thanks for the tip 🙂
this is such a great idea!
