It’s Playtime [9]: Creative Painting!

June 9, 2011 by Anna Ranson

I loved some of these creative ways to paint and print with found and natural objects from last weeks It’s Playtime!

Paint on the Ceiling showed us how to print with fruit and vegetables– so simple and effective!

Share and Remember describes making art on a large piece of fabric with coloured ice cubes!

Putti Prapancha shows us how to use simple straws to create beautiful flower and star prints!
And Dimples and Giggles reminds us that the best fun of all is wonderful finger painting!

    Thank you for the kind comments on my blog. It helps to know that I am not alone. Being a Mum without your Mum is very difficult and sad, but I suppose there are much worse situations families can be in. In some ways its made me a better Mum, as I often think my Mum is watching over us so I make better choices that she would approve of. Silly really.

    Haha, NONSENSE! they would not 🙂 Printing with fruit and veggies is REALLy easy and the only obstacle is the paint (if you have mess issues!) do it outside maybe 😉

    Hi Anna, thanks for featuring my ice cube painting! It was so fun. I’m not new to your blog but can’t keep up with following all of them so just saw this now! Following you on Facebook & Twitter now though. Thanks again!

    Sorry, I linked up twice. For some reason I couldn’t access my photo with the first link up, so I linked again. Hope that’s okay? (no. 102 and 103)
