We can learn some DIY skills in her class. She often teaches us how to paint, repair, and even cook. On Thursday, Miss Green gave us a special lesson—making potato printings. What you need are potatoes, thick paint, a large knife, a small knife and some paper. First, decide what shape(形狀)you would like to print(印)with your potato. Simple shapes work best and are easiest to make. Try hearts, moons, suns, and flowers to start with. Once you39。ve had some practice, try more shapes like cars, boats, faces and numbers. And then, cut a potato in half with the large knife. Use the small knife to make an outline(輪廓)of the shape you want to make on one half of the potato. Next, cut away the unwanted potato, about a quarter of one inch deep, around the outline of the shape. And then put the potato printing into the thick paint. At last, press(按)the potato printing onto any paper to make your printings. All of us were very happy to make our own printings.
