Sticky Saturday: messy play fun with kids
My apologies for the naked child. It's Saturday and he doesn't get dressed unless he absolutely has to. C'est la vie. I'm sure most of you understand. He also has chocolate on his face having eaten a chocolate spread sandwich for lunch. Not winning any awards today am I? *laughs and carries on with day as normal*
My boys love collecting pebbles everywhere they go and they love Minecraft so, I thought I'd combine the two and give them something they can play with away from screen time, because let's face it, when they're not attached to those screens, they're re-enacting what they'd be doing on them. Running round the house/school playground at pick up/anywhere 'mining', chopping down trees and fighting mobs is all quite normal, so I thought some 'ore' pebbles would be fun.
I mixed up some acrylic paint to get the right colours, added a bit of PVA to help it stick and left them to it. They sprinkled on some super fine glitter to give them an extra sparkle and they look gorgeous.
I may varnish them if I get a chance, I think they'd look amazing with that extra sheen.
