Hello mates, just a few days ago I wanted to buy some lino blocks for linocut, but I didn´t like the granularity and hardness of it.

I teach children from five years, so it would be difficult for them to cut in such a rigid material. Then I found polystyrene sheets on ebay. The surface is soft and you can cut into it just with a pencil, or toothpic.

The sheets are in the box of 25 pieces.

The sheets are in a size A4 and thick about 3mm. I cut it in half just to try it.

I tried to cut into in with more tools, but the pencil seems to be the best.

I used black printing color. It was made for linocut, but worked well here also.

Here is the result. The sheet is really soft and the edges are not sharp always and you cant create really thick line, but for kids it is enough.

So I tried it at school. Students were happy about it and they were so excited after the print came out. They wanted to cover the sheet with the roller on their own.

Here are the results:
