Marbling
Its a very rainy day in York today and as there was no way we were going to go out, we've spent some time this afternoon "making and doing". I made some potato printers out of old tatties and watched Jacob have great fun stamping out all over a big piece of lining paper (tip: lining paper is great for kiddies' painting as its thicker and cheaper than the paper you get in drawing pads).
And then I remembered that when I was a kid, mum would occasionally bring home up the marbling kit from her classroom and I absolutely loved it. Its ace:-
So I've been having a look online to see if I can get some for the boys. It's going to be expensive, but Jacob will love it (and so will I :-)

lining paper?
not sure if its known under a different name in the US, but its the stuff we put on walls to even the surface out a bit before painting or wallpapering. It comes in various thicknesses and doesn't cost more than a couple of quid for a roll of several metres.
I remember marbling - I did it at school and it was brilliant!
