Fun stuff for kids and parents

Tried and tested on willing guinea piglets

This optimistic, self-employed writer, translator, columnist and mum knows that with kids, a dash of charm and a good giggle beat fear of failure every time.

So here are some out-of-the-box ideas to keep kids and parents happy for hours...

Creative Space - take your time and do your prepping first

It was time for an outing somewhere intersting. 

We had seen the lovely plate my bonus daughter Julie had made for her dad for Christmas.

And Laura was raring to go too. She chose her colours.

Which wasn't easy!

And we checked out the walls for inspiration.

There were shelves of items to choose from and prices starting at DKK 150.
Not quite sure what these ones cost but some were fairy expensive.
All kids of shapes and patterns.
The price on the plate at the back is DKK 229 but remember that includes all the paint, glazing and firing. 

And it's not just for girls by any means.

Laura chose a little cup and saucer that cost DKK 149.

Julie knew the ropes and chose a vinegar bottle for about DKK 200.
She was clever enough to draw her picture on paper first.

If you're taking children, it's a good idea to draw things at home and
then visit the shop with picture to work from.   

By the time Julie had got this far...
Laura had lost interest and we were playing a doodle game.
I'll show you how in the next post.
We had booked the table in advance for two hours and had fun playing
the doodle game for 1.5 hours 
of them while Julie finished her new masterpiece.

The lady painted on the other side is a wee but raunchy...
Perhaps I'll pluck up the courage to post it when they are back from the kiln in a week or so's time!



In the meantime, here is a lady Laura drew who is brushing her teeth in her underwear.

Such aa shame she didn't make it onto a plate but by then Laura had finished her own cup and saucer
and was done painting,

Maybe next time
