3  Pour some paint into a tray and spread it around evenly. You can use a paintbrush or spoon to help you. 

4  Take a piece of sponge and dip lightly in the paint. 

 Turn your paper over so you can't see the numbers and use the sponge to print rows of bricks. You can use different sized sponges and colours to create different patterns.
