1st Grade Squeegee Prints

 This is a project that I dreamed up a few years ago - it requires a modified squeegee, which I bought at a dollar store and notched to create a drawing tool. I also have plastic versions of this tool, but kids love the squeegee version, and just love saying the word "squeegee"!  They first created a marker design on paper, being careful to use light, bright colors.  Next, we used black printing ink and a metal tray to create a surface for students to scrape a design on, using the squeegee.  The last step is to place the colorful design on the ink design, press lightly, and pull off a beautiful, one of a kind print!
