Materials Needed:

Potato (one potato makes two stamps)
Pencil (preferably with a dull point)
White Kraft Paper Roll
Washable Paint
Paint Brush
Paper Towel

Crafting the Pineapple Stamp:

First, cut the potato in half. Then, invite your child to use a dull pencil and make the cross-hatch design on the cut side of the potato. Next, blot the potato with a paper towel.

Crafting the Wrapping Paper:

To make the wrapping paper, roll out a section of the white kraft paper roll onto a hard, flat surface. Invite your child to use a paint brush to apply a layer of yellow paint to the potato stamp. Then, carefully stamp the pineapple design onto the paper using even pressure. Next, lift up the stamp to reveal the pineapple design. For the pineapple leaves, use a paintbrush dipped in green paint and add the leaves as desired. Lastly, allow the paint to dry completely.

Ideas for Use:

Use the wrapping paper for birthday party gifts or to mail packages.
Use the pineapple stamping method with fabric paint to create fabric tote bags, flour sack kitchen towels, tablecloths, napkins, or t-shirts.
To create bookmarks, stamp onto thick cardstock and cut into strips.
Create greeting cards with a sheet of cardstock folded in half, and apply the pineapple stamped design onto the front of the card.
