Hi, I am getting my mindee's to decorate a canvass for their parents for xmas but I'm a bit unsure what to do.
I have a 16 month old little girl and a 26 month old boy.
The girl one I have painted with metallic lilac and the boys is a pearlised green.
However I'm not sure whether to help them to do a footprint'handprint angel, get them to decorate it themselves with their handprints with minimal help from me or get them to fingerpaint it.
Obviously the last choice will be a bit of a mess and the parents might not want it on their walls but it will be their child's own work!
I like the angel idea and think it will look fab but that will be mostly my work using their hands and feet!
what would you all do?
