DOWNLOAD Laila and Yasmin’s activities: How to create a scene AND How to make your own paintbrush

Splat! Hi – I’m Laila -

And I’m Yasmin!

And we love to paint together.

Yeah, we both love getting messy and trying out new things!

Sometimes we get into trouble for painting on the wrong things…

That’s true, but it’s great when we get given a really BIG space to paint.

We’ve painted Bob the dog lots of times; he’s kind of like our muse.

What’s a muse?

It’s just when you get inspiration from someone.

I get inspiration from fact books – I love learning new things about the world.

I prefer funny books. Splat!

Why don’t you use your favourite book for inspiration? For my activity, you can draw a character and a scene:

Well, I challenge you to make your own paintbrush! No paintbrush, no problem, when you get creative. Have a look…

ACTIVITY: How to make your own paintbrush

Laila’s ‘how to make your own paintbrush’ activity was created by artist and illustrator Rachel McGivern. Yasmin’s ‘how to create a scene’ activity was created by Eirinie Theodorou. All the Marvellous Makers’ brilliant ‘how-to’ activities have been created in partnership with artists and Create.
