Do you paint for your children?

[E&Gmommy]

I'm working on Ean's toybox right now (Note: I will never again paint on pressboard lol) It was made by his great grandpa but it was a little...not atractive lol. Here's a pic: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/turttl...cd.jpg&.src=ph
Next I'm going to do a large wheel of the year wall hanging for their room. We live in an apt. so no painting the walls:

What have you painted specifically for your children?

I couldn't view the pic...did't have authorization from the user. I have a couple of dressers right now that I would like to paint, but still not sure what I want on them. I have done some painting for my kids rooms, and at one time we painted grape vines around the room, really groovy.

my kids have always like to have me draw an outline for them and then they paint it. This really seemed to spark their own creativity and originality.

I couldn't get the link to work to see your photo. Sorry.

No, at this point, I haven't done any painting or anything for DD. I have a beautiful sketch of her sleeping done from life when she was 5 months old, but that was for me. She likes it though.

My dad has done two stained glass pieces for her though.

very sweet! I haven't painted for my kids in a looong time. Well, a couple of years anyway. When my oldest was 1 I painted the picket fencing we have blocking of the playroom from the wood stove. I painted a winter scene with the intention of doing all the seasons. I should finish!

That is nice! What a great way to keep making art with kids- do it for them. I made a acrylic painting for dd but that's all.

I made a toy animal container for my son- it's like an animal cracker box with a rope handle on the top. Instead of "barnum's animal crackers" it has his name. It's about 12x 18x6

I made a goat cart for them too.
