My kids love to draw. It’s something that they often do of their own accord without any prompting by me, but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up with a new medium for them to get creative with. This idea is low mess, low fuss and gives them a different shiny, smooth surface to draw on that they can see their reflection in. Needless to say, a big hit at our place!
You will need:
• Heavy cardboard scraps, mine are pieces of chopped up cardboard carton. Having odd sizes adds a bit of interest for them.
• Aluminium foil
• Washi tape
• Permanent markers in assorted colours (like sharpies)
• Plastic tablecloth
How to:
Cover the card in pieces of foil, add a boarder of washi tape and you’re ready to go.
Ideally get a few pieces set up before hand for the kids to create with. My two came over as I was setting up and began taking them out of my hands immediately. I couldn’t pump out the art boards fast enough for them!
We made a collage from them to brighten up some blank wall space. They are attached to the wall with a small amount of blu-tack (sticky tack).
For tons more fun, creative ideas check out my Art Ideas board on Pinterest.
This is a really great idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
