Yesterday we woke up to more snow. A lot of snow. I am really tired of the white stuff and the cold muck. I am ready for spring and sunshine and colour.
The boys needed some outside time today so I mixed up some paints using Wilton cake gels and some water and cornstarch. I pressed a few "frames" around the yard using a board. This made a compact surface to paint on using the brushes. The spray bottles were easy enough to use just about anywhere. (Next time I will make a solution of just water and food colouring for the bottles. The starch was a bit thick for the sprayers.)
Time to make our own spring colours!
I used yogurt containers for the paints. I cut a hole in the centre of the lid so that the brush could fit through and the container was a little less "sloshy" when little hands were moving it around.
The boys got right to painting and spent just over an hour decorating the yard before it started to rain.
