Make your own printing block

For teachers who are teaching Ancient China, here's a fun idea for you! The ancient Chinese carved printing blocks out of wood. You and your class can make printing blocks by drawing a design and tracing it onto several pieces of lightweight cardboard. Cut these copies and glue them on top of one another. Then glue them to a piece of heavy carboard so the design is raised above the surface. Cover your printing block with ink and start printing!
