    👌Why We Love Peppers Art!

    Stamp art! Much like our Bok Choy Roses craft, bell pepper tops make GREAT stamp art and allow kids to "play" with their food and make beautiful art at the same time!

    Flexibility- My kids decided to make flowers out of their bell peppers art stamps, but kids can make shamrocks, balloons or any design they desire.

    Bell pepper facts- Take this time to to share some fun bell pepper facts with kids, like how bell peppers classified by botanists as fruit, but nutritionally and legally they are considered veggies and that they contain important vitamins, like vitamin A and vitamin C.

    Fine motor skills- Our peppers art craft allows kids to put their developing painting and stamping skills to good use.

    ✂️ Supplies

    Notes on supplies:

    Bell pepper- We recommend that grown-ups slice off the top of the bell pepper. If kids want to help, we love the kid-friendly Curious Chef Knife Set.

    Paint- We like to stick with washable paint with little ones!

    Brushes- These these foam paint brushes are our go-to and are easy to clean.

    📝 How to Make this Peppers Art Craft

    Step 1: Remove top from bell pepper.* Rinse and remove seeds.

    Step 2: Paint the sliced edges of the bell pepper top/head with washable paint. Stamp the painted side onto paper to form a flower. Repeat using different colors to create a collection of beautiful bell pepper art.

    ✏️ Expert Tips and Tricks

    • If using washable paint, it's easy to rinse/wipe off the pepper's head and re-paint with a different color.
    • If you aren't using all of your bell pepper for cooking, consider setting aside some slices (washed, with seeds removed) for kids to snack on as they craft. 
    • Consider pouring paint into small containers or pallets to keep colors separate.
