Fun Creepy Crawlies

Steps

1. Draw your bug – On scrap paper, sketch your creepy crawly. Fill the page with detail.

2. Transfer your design – Using a pencil, copy your drawing onto the polystyrene printing plate. Don’t press too hard or you’ll make holes.

3. Ink it up – Use a lino roller to roll FAS Studio Ink onto your plate. Try starting with white ink on black paper for a striking first print.

4. Second print – Choose one bold colour for your second print. This time print on white paper.

5. Get creative – Mix different colours of FAS Studio Ink for your final prints. Kids love experimenting and seeing what new colours they can make.
