Foot painting LARGE!!

Living in rented accommodation its very hard to bring colour into the children's room when we can not paint. I really wanted their bedroom to be a warm and welcoming room and since we have lived here I would not say we have achieved this. The walls are painted a plain white, the furnishings are so bland and don't match.

So This week I thought we would make some large art ourselves to go up on the wall.  I wanted some thing bright and colourful but the best thing about the doing the art ourselves is p and little man could pick the colours they wanted for their room.

So out came the paint, out came the roll of paper and out came their wiggly toes.
P loved to get her feet in the paint and feel it in between her toes
where as little man lifted his feet back up quickly as soon as he felt the cold wet paint.



Here is the end result. I'm really happy with it and cant wait to get it up on the wall.
