Children love the chance to explore and experiment with paint and objects. Found objects around the house or outdoors are ideal such as pine-cones and shells, or household items, such as lids and empty loo rolls With enough paper and paint, this activity can keep your wee ones occupied  for a long time. The art work at the end will be beautiful, but its all about the fun of new textures, messy hands, and discovery!

Find a rock, give it a face and a name. You could make all your family?
