Claire, from Grimsby, shows us the stunning mountain mural that she created for her children. Let’s take a look…
What did you do?
We have just moved back to the UK from Montana, USA. I wanted the kids playroom to remind us of our time in the Beartooth Mountains and Yellowstone. I used masking tape to design the mountains and trees. Then painted between the tape.
In places where the paint had dried on the tape it was a little difficult to get off and sometimes pulled bits of the paint off too. It worked better if I took the tape off while the paint was still a little wet.
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
I am Claire. My Husband Mark and I have two children, aged 3 and 6.
We are originally from England but moved to Montana 4 years ago. We moved back home in December AND, luckily, we just got in our new home before Lockdown.

How are you finding being housebound so far?
We have had good days and bad days, like most people. But we are mostly enjoying spending so much time together. However, I am looking forward to the day they both go back to school and I can sit on the sofa in silence, eating the snacks I usually have to eat while hiding from them!
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Let the little things go!
Has this website and community helped you?
It has great activities to try with the kids!
