Decorating with Resene
Creating your own toys and games is a great way to spend quality time with the kids. Not only can you get stuck into a project or two but the end result means you’ll have a new fun activity. Check out these Resene DIY projects for fun inside or out.
DIY hopscotch
Make your own colourful hopscotch and keep the kids happily hopping! Choose bright and cheerful paint colours from the whole colour wheel for a playful look.
Top Resene decorating tip: Use leftover Resene paints or buy your children’s favourite Resene testpot colours.
Cornhole game
Cornhole is a great game for family gatherings as all ages can take part. Make your own with the suggested design or get creative with colour and design – your favourite sports team’s colours add a personal touch!
Top Resene decorating tip: A glossy finish, such as Resene Aquaclear will make the surface slippery. A lower sheen finish will reduce the amount of sliding.
Road signs
Set up some signs on flat grass or a paved area then break out the bikes, scooters and skateboards for wheelie-good fun!
Top Resene decorating tip: Get the kids involved with the painting using colours like Resene Wet N Wild and Resene Flash Point for a fun weekend project.
Solitaire
Create a colourful version of this classic game. This makes a great “coffee table” game for whenever the mood takes you or to play with visitors.
