Disaster Ressurected


Last week, the boys attended the third week of Karate Camp. Camp is mornings only and they were missing their craft time with Dad. SO, I left their projects in my bedroom for Daddy to distribute AFTER Karate camp.
Well, #1 got up early one morning, went into my room and saw his painting kit and decided to help himself... He proceeded to break the tube of BLACK paint and get it on himself, the kitchen table, chairs, floor and 2 of my good bath towels.
Daddy cancelled all of our painting plans until further notice.
Once Dad regained composure, a few days later, they had another go at the painting. This is our camp painting area in the back yard. The table is a cheap ($10-ish) plastic one we've had for several years. It is also broken. So, they can get some sun and fresh air while keeping painting messes out of the house. Sesame Street plates and Halloween cups sold separately! The plates made great palettes and the paints peeled right off when dry!
I'll post better pictures of the finished pieces, but they are essentially coloring book pages printed on canvas. Each one came with a brush and a set of acrylics. Not bad for $2 (Christmas Tree Shop).
