Sounds like a complete nightmare and with my Son and I it would almost certainly end in disaster.

But many of my less frantic friends  think nothing of getting the paint box, crayons, fluffy bits and sparkly glitter out and just letting them use their imaginations to go wild!

You have to  make sure you’re prepared – cover the floor with plastic – cover the table with newspaper or plastic.  And change the children or makes sure they are wearing an old shirt to avoid ruining their own clothes.  Not like me who left her son to paint – in a new top I’d only just bought the day before – and is now covered in black paint splodges!

Happy painting!
