We've been pretty lucky with the weather this winter. It's been pretty mild so far. But as the afternoons get shorter and colder I've been looking for some indoor activities for the boys to do.
When I came across this Pixel Art on Down That Little Lane I knew it was something that both the boys and I would enjoy doing together.
We set ourselves up at the dining room table and got to creating a few different designs with our Junior Backpack, pencil cases and handbag.
It was really easy to stick the pixel art on to the silicone surface of the accessories and it was just as easy to take them off if you made a mistake or if you wanted to change the design.
Here are our designs. We all had fun choosing what we were going to make and scrambling for our favourite colours.
Jasper created a pixel art pencil for his pencil case ;)
I couldn't let the boys have all the fun so I snaffled one of the pencil cases to use as a makeup bag for my handbag.
We chose a peace sign for Noah's back pack
We had lots of coloured pixels left over so we are looking forward to changing the designs around in the future.

Deletemy little one would pack some books to read :)
ReplyDeleteI dont have any kids but I want this for my sister :) she can put school supplies in there D
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. I would want to snag one for myself too. As for the first thing my daughter would put in - depends on the day. It could be her bestie Stanley or a rock or a piece of Lego or a tiara... You get the idea. The things I find in my bag - it would be great for her to have her own bag to lug her stuff around in. Do the bits come off easily? Would you be finding them all over the house? We have a baby and she has eagle eyes...
ReplyDeleteYou need to give them a little tug to get them off, I don't think a baby could do it but I wouldn't leave them around near them as the colourful bits might be a bit too enticing to pop in their mouth x
DeleteMy little girl would put a musical note on hers ...My son would put a ship on his ....Love Love this idea

ReplyDeleteDefinately snacks! Always hungry!
ReplyDeleteBooks and hoppy (her favourite little bunny)
ReplyDeleteMiss 4 would fill her bag with jewels and a fairy dress. Master 3 would fill his bag with his blankies and toy digger and Miss almost 2 would fill her bag with her favourite funny bunny and a tiara. And Mummy would be thrilled to have something fun for them all to do on those rainy 'stuck inside' days xxx
ReplyDeleteMy daughters would firstly put their pocket money in it to spend on more pixels at http://www.downthatlittlelane.com.au/sellers/upixel-australia (and maybe a few more treats from Down That Little Lane too ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome books to read - master seven has caught the reading bug and won't go any where with out one or many!
