Channeling My Inner Artist

Summer vacation is only two short weeks away.  I am starting to put together ideas of places to visit and activities to work on during the break.  When I was going through the closet, taking inventory of games and art supplies, I came across our Klutz Face Painting book and paints.  We have had this book for a couple of years and it is an excellent item to have in your parenting arsenal.

I am no artist.  I can't even make a stick figure look decent!  This book makes it easy and foolproof.  Every time we go to a carnival or fair, my son always asks me to let him get his face painted or a design on his hand.  Now we do it at home anytime we want.  Easy, step by step instructions and illustrations.  The ideas in the book range from simple (butterflies, puppies and rainbows) to more complex (full face make up for fairies and superheroes).  The quality of the paints are excellent, professional grade, that go on smoothly and last for a long time.

I know this book will help us get through those long summer afternoons.  Just when boredom might  set in, I know I'll have a great tool in my arsenal to raise spirits around my house!

What do you have up your sleeve to get you through those long and restless summer days?
