Painting

Not just painting

Olly got to choose from the activity bowl today as Thomas is ill so lying on the sofa! He picked out "painting" - his first reaction was that it was a boring activity. Neither boy is very interested in "just painting" so we made it a bit more fun.

Firstly Olly wanted to do "Big Painting" with his feet, so we went outside and had a go -

It was quite fun, but very messy and over very quickly!

After a quick bath we decided to do some leaf painting - I really enjoyed this too. We basically printed with leaves.

This is my attempt - I'm quite pleased with it!

Olly made a great effort and made and "A" for Andersen!

We then used some of our acorn collection to make some interesting little things

The end result was pretty cool - a couple of toadstools and a strawberry! (these ideas came from Twig and Toadstool)

Olly loved making these toadstools and insists on collecting all acorns and cups that we come across to make more.

So all in all the painting was really good fun and not at all boring!

Thank you for getting this far!
