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.
