YOUNGSTERS at the Sunshine Children's Centre in Poolbrook were having fun with paint when they took part in The Big Draw.

The Big Draw is a national event to encourage drawing and painting, promoted by the Campaign for Drawing, an independent charity which raises the profile of drawing as a tool for thought, creativity, social and cultural engagement.

Sue Rogers of the Sunshine Children's Centre said: "The children who come to our play sessions took part and they were riding their bikes through paint to make patters, using toy cars and even their feet.

"There was lots of paint, lots of mess, and lots of laughter. The parents joined in and it was really good."
