 Nature Rubbing Plates
Children can have fun and add creative flair almost anywhere with these easy-to-use Rubbing Plates. You can use a variety of media to transfer the images on each plate to paper: gently rub crayons over a sheet of paper placed on top of a plate for a rubbing; lay a clean sheet of paper over a painted plate, gently rub the paper and lift off carefully for print; or press clay into the plate, remove and let it dry to create a mold.

The 6 7" x 7" Bug Rubbing Plates depict an ant, bee, butterfly, grasshopper, ladybug, and spider.
