hi,
i am not a mother but i am a fresh textile and clothing designer, and i love working and spending my time with children, i always did. so your projects are really inspiring for me to find my own path and i feel encouraged to really stick with the real me and be creative in my own special way...keep on with the good work!
(and sorry for my english)

Hi!
We make similar prints all the time.
Except the kids do it in the bath.
They paint the bath & then we print it onto paper.
No water 'till it's over, no mess, no fuss! Xxx

where can i buy plexi glass?

any hardware store will sell plexiglass

I love this!

I love all your craft projects. I usually do some with my kids during their school holidays. So inspiring !

wonderful idea!!! I am always trying to find projects that look artistic on the wall and that are easy enough for a 2 year old!!!
