large scale painting

Why restrict painting to a small piece of paper?  The girls love 'big painting'
I buy cheap rolls of lining paper from decorating stores and use this to roll out on the floor. I would suggest NOT doing this activity on a carpeted floor! Try moving this activity into the kitchen on the lino/tiled floor or even outside on the patio.
Pour out some paints and let your children use their imaginations! My girls usually end up hand and feet painting and walking along the paper.
Welly boots are great to wear to walk along the paper too. Step in trays of paint in your boots and see the sole print as you walk.
This also works well if you have alot of children to occupy as theres plenty of space for all. You may if your really lucky get them all working together to make one large collage!






The girls like to extend this activity with a bowl of soapy water. They wash their hands and also enjoy cleaning/washing out the brushes/sponges that they have used.
