I don’t remember my parents actually painting with us at home, I guess they decided avoiding the problem by not planting the idea into our head but at least she does look happy on the pictures!

You can do the majority of crafting with her until she’s three and a half. Deal?

I love the idea of it. And I love the moments when it’s fun. But I hate all the other stuff – the tantrums, paint all over the furniture, mess etc etc etc. I force myself to do it because she loves it but I must say I look forward to the days when we can make stuff side by side without a tantrum or bucket of paint ending up on the wall!

Ohhh. Yes. A million times this. We are not natural crafters in this house either. I am sure that living in a rented house that’s almost entirely cream and white hasn’t helped, but really I’m just glad of a convenient excuse not to. Thanks for telling it like it is! xx

Hilarious! I love her. It’s not put me off collecting shells and building up a box of craft (junk) bits for F to be creative. The only rule? She’ll “create” in the shed! Love ma x

This made me smile so much! You see all these blogs with photos of little ones calmly painting beautiful masterpieces and it makes me feel guilty that it is such a challenge to drag out the craft things and the paint pots are yet to be opened!
