Real Teacher Feedback:
Ancient Egyptian cat/heron prints!! Which then turned into all sorts of other miscellaneous prints because the kids love this so so much! I have never done printmaking before and I was having as much fun as they were. Hands-down one of the kids’ favorites and one of my favorites too!
