A fabulous box of "STUFF" to paint, stick or use however they feel the need, anything shiny or sparkly goes down really well for Paige, and anything bumpy is Eryka's first pick!
I found these really cool art boxes - cheap too - at Lincraft. They included paint, textas, pencils, crayons, pastels, a ruler, eraser and a paintbrush.
These little paint pots have been the BEST things ever! When trying to control 3 little ones with paint, these have been awesome, they also have little caps for where the paint brush goes so the paint doesn't dry out. Plus I also now don't need to put out a bowl of water for rinsing brushes between colors!
Glitter paint is always a popular option for girls!
While doing the groceries at Coles, I stumbled upon packets of fold out paper people! There were like 20 in a pack for about $3, the girls had a great time - well, little Sophia lost interest very quickly and became determined to destroy her older sisters so she got stuck down the other end of the table for a while! But they drew faces, glued buttons, glued this gold string stuff on for hair (and then whinged as they had gold stuff stuck to their hands...) and generally created a character for each different person.
They tended to change seats depending on who Sophia was annoying the most at the time!
Artwork drying off in the playroom afterwards! Then tucked away in drawer to be used as wrapping paper at Christmas time!
