Great idea. This is my first time reading your blog, and I laughed out loud at the term “twinadoes”. That is too cute.

We got our roll of paper from Ikea for those wanting to know… I loathe having to pay for drawing/art paper for the kids after years of getting freebies when I was teaching – but the ikea rolls are pretty cheap, useful for lots of things and are recycled paper too.
Tiff – oh we loved doing that spray gun thing when I was teaching kinder… must break that out for the girls this summer!

Kate, I sorry to hear that your kiddos are sick. Hope you all feel better soon.

We used to do this with the bigger kids. I haven’t been there with Ivy and Noah yet, although Ivy loves to draw. I used to get huge bits of paper and hang them on the fence, put coloured (edicol) water into spray guns and let them go. Of course it was much warmer weather but they had a ball. To this day, they still talk about it. I was so much more creative back then… Will have to get out all my old ideas and run with them.

Gorgeous drawing by those two gorgeous twinadoes. My kids also love drawing a “map”…. roads, train trucks, river, pond, paddocks for the animals… and then setting up toy cars, trains, farm animals etc on top of it, can build lego buildings to make a town, or create buildings out of old boxes. Great way to fill in a rainy morning or if you have room to leave it out it can last for days.
