Spring Activity: Painted Pebbles!

Getting outside is great now that the coldness of winter has been and gone. We've found a great activity for the kids (and big kids) to get up to on a Sunday spring afternoon! With pebble painting, you can get the kids involved in finding the pebbles, washing them and then designing some patterns to paint, draw or doodle on once they are dry! 

We've found some fun ideas to get your brains wurling, we particularly love the ladybirds and owls!
