The Big Draw
was a fantastic event held at the Barton Hall, Chilwell, Nottingham as part of the
Carnival of Monsters. Aimed as an opportunity for children to have an afternoon
of art with wonderful resources and the chance to make and create lots of fun
things. I took part in assisting the event, it was brilliant fun, there was
puppet and mask making and a massive painting for them to all colour in. It started
out as a nice illustration of the typical fairytale scenario; y’know fairies, pirates
and monsters, but descended into madness as these kids, some still in nappies
(some ONLY in nappies) ended up rolling around in the paint, it was all over
their clothes, hair, faces; they were painting themselves, each other, it was
hilarious. They were having so much fun, the only brutal part was the thump
every few minutes as one of them slipped in the paint, but thanks to Petit Filous they just hopped back up
and carried on, very funny to watch!

It is a
brilliant annual event; totally free, and as long as you have good washing
powder definitely bring your kids to it next year!
