Monet

I have decided to try and do a bit more art, and specifically a bit more painting with the children now that Miss E is a bit more patient and a bit less likely to paint the house.

I borrowed this book from the library so we shared it together and then had a go at this activity together.

They both loved mixing the paints and the end results look fab.  I think we will have a go at a few more Monet inspired pieces before moving to another artist.

The book.

Finished pictures, Miss E's then Mr T's.

Papercraft Cats and Cities

Both littlies still snotty so I decided some indoor crafts were in order.  After a bit of online searching I found this amazing blog Made By Joel.  Miss E wanted to make the Dressy Cats and Mr T the Paper City.  The whole website is amazing and really useful if you have children as there are loads of things to print out and make to keep people busy on rainy days.

Here are the littlies at work, and play...
