Boredom busters
This rather glamorous looking fellow is actually made from old toilet paper roll inserts, a couple of small cardboard boxes, an egg carton, some kebab skewers, toothpicks, a wire pot scrubber, tin foil and some polystyrene balls. He’s then decorated in Resene Yeehaa, Resene Super Sonic, Resene So Cool and Resene Go Go Go.

Wonderful woodworks
Wooden kids' toys have a certain old-world charm to them, and adding a dash of beautiful colour makes for something stylish and fun. Case in point: these cool custom made kids trollies by designer and furniture maker Alejandro Ariza Hernandez. Alejandro comes from Colombia where he studied interior design and woodworking, and now lives in Wellington with his wife and two kids. Here he custom makes indoor and outdoor furniture, storage and objects, such as these kids trollies painted in Resene Di

Playing house

Colour trends: pairing fashion pastels
When it comes to decorating the kids' bedrooms, an ombre wall using saturated pastels is a beautiful and playful way to go about it without being overly cliché. Pick one colour as the pivotal shade and choose complementary colours around it. For example, Resene Abbey Road works beautifully with Resene Alluring, Resene Abercrombie and Resene Dutch White.
Geometry lesson
Carolyn took a favourite geometrical pattern of hers and set to work on this kid’s wagon. The result is a pleasing pattern of colour, and a vehicle for her boys to store their toys (and sometime race around in). To replicate the look, have the kids choose eight to 10 of their favourite colours from the Resene KidzColour chart and get painting.
Tiffany takes a lead from Lego

It took a little over four hours to tape the lines for Dillin’s bedroom feature wall. Carrie says the playful argyle pattern was fun to make but took a lot of concentrating. She used Resene Hot Chile (red), Resene Black and Resene Half Sea Fog.
