The summer holiday has always been my favourite time of year. Which kid doesn’t like to be free all day, to play and explore as he wishes? For the last 5 years, along with my daughter, I rediscovered the joys of the summer holiday. I am fortunate enough to be able to spend time with her; to sleep in late if we want or if our body feels the need to. To go in the park or shopping together. To cook and to eat, to play and to read. To watch movies or play cards.

It is the hotest summer of the last years, so we spend more time indoors or on our balcony than outdoor in the burning sun. And so, we had to discover more ways to keep our creative hands and minds busy 🙂

One of that discoveries I really must share with you because we just love it. It is called “marble painting” and it is magic! Your child can do some great works using this technique. For a more versatile use, I recommend making the base for the painting ( water mixed with powder) in advance. Otherwise, you have to wait 3 to 6 hours for the ingredients to fully mixed and become a gel. The final work can be transfered on plain paper, cardbox, tshirts, mugs or some other items that you want to personalize. You can use different object to create new forms and colors.

For the last 3 days, since the kit arrived, we paint all day with it. We aim for a heart, but until then, we enjoy our collection of marbled paitings.
