What with wrecked backs and sick kids and crossing off number one on my list I’d totally forgotten to blog this fun blow painting activity that we tried way back in the term 3 holidays! You’ll Need – Watered down paint, food colouring or liquid water colours. A cup or container for each colour. A […]
What Can We Do Today? Bubble Painting!
It’s third term holidays here and since I promised both myself and my kids that we’d do some painting, yesterday we got busy with bubble painting! You’ll need – Watered down paint, food colouring or liquid water colours mixed with a little detergent. A container for each colour. Straws (a couple for each child unless […]
Draw and Colour.
I am not a big fan of colouring in books. I want children to draw from their imagination and experience, rather than colour in someone else’s pictures.
