We have put together this gorgeous trio of chicken printing blocks - absolutely perfect for printing Easter cards, egg hunt bags and an alternative gifts to Easter eggs. They're also brilliant for keeping the kids busy over the Easter holidays, and will last a lifetime. Our Indian wooden printing blocks are hand carved on a Fairtrade project in Jaipur, India and are made using the sustainable hardwood sheesham. The designs are traced and carved onto the wood. The blocks are then left to soak in mustard oil for several days, preserving the wood making it non-absorbent and life-lasting. All of our wooden printing blocks can be used for fabric printing, paper / card printing & pressing into clay. It's important when printing fabric to use a fabric paint / medium so the design is totally washable. When printing onto paper and card you can use a wide variety of paints/inks. Ink pads aren't always wet enough to use with the printing blocks so we advise using paint. Remember to always use a sponge to dab the paint to the block, and to place a foam mat (like a yoga mat) underneath your material so the blocks print beautifully.
