Things to do with the kids... Handy Art!


One of the great things about my kids is that they love to be creative and rather than letting them loose with the art supplies (paint on the walls & furniture isn't the look I want to go for), I prefer to channel they're creativity. I got the idea for this art piece when my eldest daughter and I were thinking of how we could brighten up the bathroom.

This was so easy to make by using things I had lying about the house. I've had a few canvases just sitting in a box for a while as I haven't had much time for painting recently.




The girls really enjoyed having their hands painted and then printing them onto the canvas. This was probably not the right kind of paint to use for this purpose (it stains your skin if you leave it on too long!) but if you wash it off straight away then it's okay. We finished it off with some thumb prints and I think it turned out really well.
