Kids Painting Ideas<\/h2>\n

Painting is our go-to activity on a rainy day or when the kids are getting bored. It’s quick to set up and there are so many fun ways to paint. It can be enjoyed by kids of all ages, so it is the perfect activity to set up for kids of different ages to do together. Because let’s face it we don’t have the time (or energy) to set up a completely different activity for each of our children.<\/p>\n

I have 3 kids (aged 4, 7 and 9) and from a very young age we have all sat down together to paint. Sometimes we just get out the brushes, paints and paper and see where they take us. Other times we sit down and concentrate on a more focused painting idea.<\/p>\n

All of the art work you see in these posts has been done by my kids. I don’t believe in prettying them up to “make them perfect” for social media. I believe that there is nothing more beautiful than a painting that has come from your own child’s imagination and hands.<\/em><\/p>\n
