It's been a busy summer holiday so far. I recently threw an 8th birthday party for my daughter in Vancouver. As with most birthday party celebrations for kids, you want your little guests to have a good time. Our guests were between the ages of 5-10 years old so what better activity than painting? I picked up 8x8" canvases, the three primary colours in washable acrylic paint, a few pie tins and an assortment of brushes from the dollar store. I told the kids what colours the primary colours made and to feel free to incorporate elements from the garden. I grabbed a handful of grass as an example, which got me a few giggles. They kept busy at their creations for almost 30 minutes. I was amazed (but not surprised) at the creativity! Now to throw an adult painting party.
