I'm a real fan of finding new uses for items and finding new things to do with the children. So this was a great afternoon as it checked all those boxes and a bonus of enjoying the last few rays of summer at the same time.
Toddler painting in doors usually results in a weeks worth of clearing up and walls being re painted usually brown my little ones favorite mix it all up colour!
So it was great to get out doors and create some really big messy art. I however am quite fond of my decking remaining brown so we brought out the trusty old shower curtain as a large painting mat. Keeping in the re purposing theme we used left over wall paper as big sheets of paper.

Being outside E could be really free and messy, we did a large tree and he finger painted leaves. I helped him with masking tape to make a star he painted all over and then we peeled away to make a flag. We did splash paint, potatoe printing and then finally foot printing .
We had a lovely afternoon
Easy clean up free craft fun, yes really!!
Washing line art gallery looked so pretty.
We let the pictures dry while E enjoyed a nice bath and the trusty shower curtain had a spin in the washing machine ready for its next non shower related use.
A lovely afternoon spending quality time with my little one and spending no money doing something different.
Thought of the day .............The best things in life really are free.
