I have been designing patterns, participating in <a href=\"http:\/\/kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/how-to-be-a-childrens-picture-book-illustrator\/inktober-gallery-2014\/\">#Inktober<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/category\/3-blog-categories\/52-week-illustration-challenge\/\">#illo52weeks<\/a> while finishing a picture book off ( almost done).<\/p>\n<p>My children are on school holidays and we had a craft day today. I spilled out an assortment of art and craft supplies and let them loose to do whatever inspired them. Mr 9 had a calico doll to decorate and Miss 13 and Mr 11 had cardboard book boxes.\u00a0 I joined in with a calico doll and had a great time. At first I thought I had killed the thing &#8211; it looked like a crime scene! But then, to my surprise, it came together somehow.<\/p>\n<p>Mr 11 made a decorated sling shot contraption out of the cardboard book box (go figure) which I eventually sent outside for testing &#8211; it worked too effectively! And Miss 13 is still working on perfection. My youngest is a little sensitive with art but enjoyed the play for a while, then hit the TV room.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4839\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4839\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4839\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/painting-dolls-school-holiday-activity\/art-doll-painiting-kids-activity\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/art-doll-painiting-kids-activity.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mixed media art doll.
