How to make it
Keep the knife on the grown-up's side of the table and put it away before stamping starts.
1Grown-up step: Cut the potatoes
Cut each potato in half across the middle on a cutting board.
2Grown-up step: Carve the shapes
Press a cookie cutter 1/2 in into the cut face. Trim away the potato around it with the knife.
3Dry the stamps
Blot the stamps with paper towels. Dry stamps print sharper.
4Roll out the paper
Roll the kraft paper across the floor and tape down the ends.
5Stamp away
Let your child dip a stamp in paint and press it down all over the paper.
6Dry and wrap
Let it dry for 1 hour, then wrap the family gifts.
Simple shapes like stars, hearts and trees carve cleanest. Skip anything with skinny parts.
