I took the boys to Artjamming in Blu Bird centre today for them to paint canvases for their rooms. They LOVED it, and I love how the canvases turned out.
When we got there, Pam asked us whether the boys wanted to use pictures as templates. Connor said yes, and chose an aeroplane. Bradley however, was adamant that he wanted to paint the picture he had in his head… a house.
I think both are awesome. For a 3 year old, I think the red plane and green clouds on Connor’s painting are awesome, and the brown streaks are apparently water because it’s a water plane. He did the WHOLE thing himself. Even the windows with people in it.
As for Bradley’s… I LOVE the tree… it looks like those African flat topped trees in the veld. Also love the way he stuck to his guns about having a gold and silver house. It works. When Beauty saw it when she got home, she commented how he was an african boy

After Connor finished, we went next door to Col’Cacchios and had divine pizzas while Bradley finished his… it was an awesome afternoon, and I’m definitely taking them back there!

Ok, this is definitely something I would do with my kids, all three of them. I have been planning to buy canvases for the longest time for them to go wild on, but this would be a great outing.
What was the cost?
What a clever idea!
great idea – well done, love the artwork !
Wow, lovely artwork guys !!
Those are fantastic, we have just painted the kids room and wanted a picture for the wall, such a great idea to get them to paint it. I wonder if there is a place in CT
What a great idea! Those are LOVELY!
Wow – they are fantastic – well done boys!! Sorry I didn’t go with you but I was productive – made mince pies

That’s sounds like an absolutely fantastic outing to take the kids on!
Fantastic paintings!!! What a wonderful idea
What a fun thing to do with the boys! Now whenever they see their piece of art on the wall they will remember your day out. You’re such a cool mom Jeanette
I love it.
