Kindergarten stamp printing: Architecture

a great intro to architecture and housing
Kindergarteners learned about different kinds of architecture, and who an architect is in the community.  We used stamp printing techniques to create the geometric shapes that make up a building.
Legos, marker tops, cardboard scraps, sponge shapes and cardboard tubes were dipped in white paint and stamped on blue paper, creating "blueprints."  Although this project is a little messy, the results are so worth it!
