Plaster Painting with My Kids
So why does it feel like you’re about to lose your mind when school is out and you’re at home with the kids all day, every hour of the day?
SM Masinag is conveniently located near our place, meaning it’s just a walking distance away. Whenever we feel bored, or the kids start to lose it because they can’t handle the extreme heat, the mall becomes a lifesaver and keeps me sane.
After my event yesterday, I grabbed my kids, literally, and headed to the mall.
I easily spotted the painting booth upon arrival and immediately paid for the items. The plaster figurines come in different characters. Each figurine costs 75 pesos, or 225 pesos for the three of them.
The downside of using plaster molds is that they aren’t conducive to uniform paint coverage. It can be uneven or not fully covered, so you need multiple coats and more paint to achieve the look you want. Since it’s for kids, the only option is poster paint diluted with water. Each of them was given paint palettes and had a chance to choose the colors for their molds. It’s unlimited paint, you can ask for more if you want to.
Ayji got a Naruto figurine.
Ayli chose Hello Kitty, like mother, like daughter, lol!
Ayen’s plaster mold was perfect for Easter: an Easter egg!
While they were busy doing their thing, Mom was also busy doing her own thing, blogging and texting! Ahem.
The next time you visit a mall, try letting your kids experience this (once in a blue moon), or you can even buy plaster figurines in Divisoria and paint them at home, cheaper and more convenient.
