Symmetry Bugs

Pretty simple project involving monoprint.
Children paint a blob in the middle of a wax paper with colored ink. They fold it in half and roll with a brayer to mix the colors. They open it up and have a stamp to print on their 'good' paper. They role it with their brayer to stamp and peal off the wax paper.
After drying, the children draw on bug features like wings, eyes, and legs.
