Summer break is officially here, which means you need a steady stream of activities to keep the kids entertained. Before you rush to the craft store for expensive supplies, check your kitchen drawer. That humble potato masher is about to become your new favorite art tool.

If you are a parent or caregiver looking for easy, low-prep projects, you are in the right place. Stamping with a potato masher is incredibly simple, wonderfully tactile, and a fantastic way to spark creativity in young minds. Kids love the unique grid patterns it leaves behind on paper, making it the perfect tool to create bright suns, textured ice cream cones, and colorful sea shells.

On that note, grab your favorite washable paints, pull out that masher, and let the summer crafting begin!
