Screen Printing
- Grades 6-8
- Grades 9-12
Make an im-print — with the sensational art of screen printing! Read all about this thousand-year-old art form, then practice printing on a chipboard using some ink, a set of stencils, a squeegee, and a handy-dandy screen. Once you’ve perfected your printing powers, choose your favorite stencil design (or make your own!) and use it to decorate a backpack that’s uniquely you — and useful, too! Ready to create something with both beauty and real utility?

My grandson really enjoyed the screen printing and was delighted with the result. He was a little cautious about how much paint/ink to use on the practice version but this proved helpful as he used more on his actual printing and it came out beautifully. He is very interested in space so chose the stars and planets design which worked very well.

There are so many ways kids can explore creativity, but I think KiwiCo is the best way to go! We had a blast with this project and look forward to more crates!

Thanks to an awesome project and my son's creative side, he has a brand new backpack that he screenprinted himself! We plan on learning more about these methods of art and want to do more!

Perfect for a future fashion designer in the making. She had a balst creating her own stencil and looks forward to designing even more clothes and accessories.\
