Painting with DUPLO

April 24, 2012 by admin 24 Comments

H and I have two mornings a week when is it just us. We often meet up with friends or go to a play group, but I like to spend some quality time with her on my own too. Just recently she has become very chatty and very funny.

Last week we had a painting session using DUPLO instead of paintbrushes inspired by The Nurture Store’s no paintbrushes allowed post.

We started off with cotton buds, before moving onto bigger, messier objects.

We made our own Duplo stampers.

which seemed to work quite well.

H loved it, and I did too.

    Thanks for joining in. The Duplo makes really great patterns doesn’t it? There’ll be a new art explorers project tomorrow if fancy another challenge.

    My one year old just received a fisher price little people building set which she picked up on rather quickly. [she gets the stacking concept] im looking at the lego duplo sets for her for christmas because well, they’re way cuter [and not painted] but im wondering how they compare size wise?? how big compared to “little people” are the duplo figurines???

      A similar size, but not quite as chunky. H has played with DUPLO since being 1 and my 5 year old still plays with it. Definitely a worthwhile toy to buy.
