This afternoon we tried the neatest thing… Using chalk on the trampoline! My sister-in-law suggested the idea and the kids absolutely loved it. The chalk went on smoothly and vibrantly, and in no time, the trampoline was transformed into a giant chalkboard-esque canvas.
Grae and I started on a collaborative rainbow…
While Kinslee drew her Auntie with a bright pink side pony {awesome}…
And Chay worked on a skeleton rock band {also awesome}.
The kids just loved it.
Of course the chalk does rub off easily, so we made sure to dress the kids in play clothes ahead of time and we were careful not to walk on others’ art during the drawing session {well, most of the time at least}.
The fun went on and on for our little artists…
Until eventually, it was time to jump!
Oh, and did they ever jump.
And before long, the chalk drawings had pretty much disappeared off of the trampoline…
And transferred onto their legs, feet, and clothes of course, but that’s nothing a bath and a load of laundry won’t fix. ☺

We’d love to have you!
I love this idea. Hopefully one day I will have a trampoline for my little boy :)
Awwww. Love your pictures
I do this all the time when I babysit. The kids love the new environment. Plus its an easy clean-up activity for me , that keeps them busy for hours.
