Vegetable Stamping

Vegetable stamping is a classic way to make pretty artwork.

Vegetable Stamping - art activity for kids

The following post contains affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you I can make a tiny bit of money to help support this blog. Thank you!

For this activity I prepared the following vegetables for printing:

  • Bell pepper
  • Carrot
  • Celery Heart
  • Potato
  • Cucumber
Vegetable Stamping

These vegetable stamps were mainly made from the parts I would usually throw away, like the carrot tops. The majority of each vegetable was eaten! I spread out some paint onto paper plates (for easy clean up!), thinning any thicker paints with a little bit of water. Then the girls got stamping! Miss L (4.5yrs) chose to start with all the round vegetables first.

Miss E (6yrs) experimented with different colours and then discovered how cool the celery hearts looked!

After Miss E had finished her picture she decided to write her name on it, using the green part of the carrot top as a brush. I love the way she thinks!

The celery hearts made some of the best prints – they looked like roses!

Here are some of the finished pieces. Unfortunately Miss L decided to “swipe” with her vegetables at the end, which got rid of most of the prints!

Here are some tips for making the vegetables easier to hold – especially useful for little hands!:

  • Use corn cob holders
  • Use a fork
  • Carve a “handle” into the vegetable

Other vegetables you could use:

  • Okra
  • Radicchio
  • Zucchini (Courgette)
  • Lettuce
  • Fennel bulb
  • Vegetable scraps
  • Onion
  • Corn cob
  • Use a single celery stick to make fish scales
