Painting with chalk paints

We used our chalk paints inside today.  Harry loved being able to stand at his easel and got painting straight away. 

He painted the whole family.  He was so proud of his painting and so was I as this is the first time he has painted a family portrait!

Here is Harry's completed painting once it had dried.  He still hasn't let me wash it away! The two big people are Mummy and Daddy, Harry is on Mummy's shoulders and Daddy is holding baby Daisy. Grandma is on Daddy's head!
