I am always looking for creative ways to make printing practice fun for kids. I truly believe it is a skill that needs to be taught and practiced, so whenever I can I try to change it up so that it is not just paper and pencil tasks. The kids tend to be more engaged and practice longer when it is not with a pencil. My printing bags are used for just this purpose and my students love to use them. Not to mention they are super easy to make.
Materials you will need:
- Resealable bag (I used Ziplock brand)
- Strong Packing tape or Duct tape
- Paint or hair gel
- Q-tips (optional)
I use these bags all the time with my class, especially during guided reading sessions or center activities. It's something I can pull out quick and the kids love them. We use them to practice pre-printing shapes, letters, sight words, spelling words you name it!

I LOVE the paint in the baggie for writing/drawing. I am soooo making these!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it Laura! They are very fun and the kids really like them! You can also add 2 colors in the baggie and have the kids mix colors as well! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteJust paint? Is that all you need?
ReplyDeleteYep just paint! But you can add glitter if you'd like. I have also used hair gel too and it works as well, just make sure to use a darker color.
DeleteJust thought I’d let you know I included a link to your q-tip writing on my personal blog. Such a cute idea! Thanks for the post!

I love this idea.! I will try it soon. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paint did you use? I just tried shaving cream, but it melted or fell apart over night- boo! Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteOhhh that sucks that shaving cream didn't work. I just use tempera paint. Even the cheap stuff from the dollar store works well. Good luck!
DeleteHow quickly does the paint dry out? If at all?
ReplyDeleteThe paint will eventually dry out but it takes several months.
DeleteHow long does the hair gel last??? All year?
DeleteWould love to make these for my K class.
so you use paint inside the bag and then do you use paint on the qtip for the outside?
ReplyDeleteYes you put paint inside the bag but then you can use a dry q-tip or your finger to draw on the outside of the bag. This way leaves no mess as you aren't actually touching any paint.
DeleteLoving this idea! I'm a para so I am always looking for a way to make it fun!! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHow much paint, and in what size zip local bag?
ReplyDeleteYou can use whatever size bag you want, I usually just use the sandwich size ones, but I have used x-large bags with some of my special needs students as they enjoy moving the paint around the bag. With a sandwich sized bag I just squirt in a couple squirts of paint probably about 3 or 4 tablespoons worth.
