Creatistics Printing Foam A4 - Pack of 15 is a safe and accessible introduction to the art of printmaking, ideal for students of all creative levels. This pack includes 15 A4-sized foam sheets (21 x 29.7cm), each approximately 3mm thick, and comes with full instructions, making it an excellent resource for guided classroom activities or independent projects. The soft texture of the foam allows children to easily imprint designs using a pencil or blunt tool, eliminating the need for sharp carving tools and ensuring a safer crafting experience.

Once the design is complete, the foam sheet can be inked with a roller and pressed onto paper to create a print. This hands-on process encourages experimentation with patterns, textures, and layering techniques, making it a valuable tool for teaching visual art concepts. The generous size of each sheet provides plenty of space for detailed artwork and larger compositions.
