::: rolling pin art
We pulled out a couple of rolling pins, covered one with fat elastic bands …
and the other with bubble wrap.
Our young friend spread heaps of paint over a board (with his hands of course – yummy!) and rolled the rolling pin over it to get a good coating on it.
With a bit of help from a friend we rolled out a long stretch of paper …
and then went for it! Ooh that looks great!
The elastic band one worked well too, although wasn’t quite as spectacular – it possibly needed more paint on it.
Combining both roller patterns was interesting.
The paint lasted a surprisingly long time – no top ups at this point.

::: Have fun with it Cath!
Beautiful and fun, as usual! Where on earth did you find a rolling pin with cookie cutters inside of it? (that is what i see there, no?)
::: It is a rolling pin full of cookie cutters Rachelle … It came from The Reject Shop (I think)!
Love it. Anything with bubble wrap must be a great idea!
::: You’re right there Scott … even just popping it is loads of fun!
This reminds me- I’ve really got to try this with the kids- they will love it!
::: We reckon they will too Pam!
Just imagine how good that would be with some colours like blue purple , pink …..I wish i knew where to get rolls of paper like that down Geelong way I miss having large rolls too…….seems the newspapers aren’t printed down this way anymore, that was one place I had hoped to get some end of roll paper…….
::: It’s a great roll of paper isn’t it Jennifer?! We picked it up over at Resource Rescue!
As usual, great idea!
::: Thanks Rachele.
Fabulous idea! My 4 yr old will love it! She likes playing with rolling pin!

THIS is waaaay too fun. So simple and I bet it kept her busy for a while!
I run Fun Family Crafts, a site similar in nature to Craftgawker and Spotlight, but different in that it’s a library of craft tutorials geared only at kids. I would love it if you’d stop by and submit this to be featured! (I link to you, I don’t post your tutorial on the site) Feel free to submit as many kid friendly craft tutorials as you like! http://funfamilycrafts.com/
::: Thanks Amanda! We’d love to be involved.

::: That’s a great extension of this idea Linda!
Great idea my 3 year old will love this.
