In the cupboard we have a lot of black cardboard. It is not quite as versatile as other coloured card. It isn't much good for drawing on, it is too sombre for the average painting and there are only so many wheels the average cardboard car needs. One thing I really like using it for is splatter painting. This is a great activity and the resulting art work can be used as wrapping paper, cards and as the background for sticking shapes on. It also has the benefit of fitting any age group (it gets a tick for being a single activity that all my children can do together without me having to thing of age appropriate variations)
Here are the pictures from today - the kids didn't bother washing the paint brushes between colours so there is an interesting swirl through the colours.
And then we get to use it to make something else...these are destined to be the night sky behind rockets blasting into space.
