Art with children - the reality

In an attempt to be creative I thought I'd use some of the windfall apples and do some apple printing. It was lovely weather and knowing my children the paint would be everywhere but the paper so in the garden we went.

It started out ok.


And then you know how it is - one child paints on another or pokes her or looks at her funny which means I have to take her indoors for cuddles and milk. By the time I get back outside there has been a lot painting done...



All the things I'd put on the paper to stop them blowing away had been taken off....



and there were painted apples everywhere....

I got to sit and have a cuppa whilst they both got in the shower though so it wasn't all a disaster.
