Painting together

While we visited friends a few weeks ago they had paint brushes and water the boys loved it. We found some paint brushes in the garage. We have plenty of fence for the boys to pretend paint and the weather has been really warm.

I'm pretty handy myself with the paintbrush.

Its been really fun and awesome time with the boys. Its awesome and so easy to clean up!

Paper Craft- City Scene

We are using the book 365 Things to do with Paper and Cardboard we borrowed from the library to find inspiration while using paper. We have drawn cats and now we are doing a city scene

We are using things from around the house- scrapbooking paper, magazine and plain white paper.

We stuck 3 A4 pages together and using the the book as inspiration we started cutting, sticking and drawing.

I made a few houses and an apple tree and Master B made a banana tree (adorable)

It was fun creating a city scene and the great thing about using a magazine is you have so many options for text images it makes for interesting building colours and patterns. These have been great quiet activities and wonderful watching Master B's imagination grow!
