Kindy Steamfest

Just outside Maitland railway station on the steamfest days were a series of paintings done by kindergarten kids from various schools in the area. I thought this one was the best.

The engine in the picture 3642 is the one that pulled the train we rode on, but it is green not black as shown here. Still a great picture though and I love the koala and echidna in the painting too.

So naïve and pretty -- its lovely to see little children's work like this illustrated for all to see and to brighten up the surrounds !

[Annie D]

as soon as I saw this I said Hi Babs :) what a great idea to show of the kindy artwork

[Jenfurj]

So wonderful that all areas of the community become involved. Gives people ownership of where they live.

You have some very talented young children out there Babs, we are booked on Thomas the tank engine with the grandchildren in August at a steam railway, just can't wait, photos I'm sure will be taken, lol:)

@hermann Trust the roo to get there first to drive the train.

[Babs]

@shirleybankfarm Thanks Shirley, I love the kangaroo driving the train too.

[Yao RL]

It always intrigue me that child painting are universally alike.

[Babs]

@happypat You are right Pat the train does look better in black rather than green. It would have blended into the background I just love the kangaroo driving the train too.

[Marnie]

You could probably sell this artwork for a fortune Babs.

[Chris K]

lovely that the children were able to contribute to the celebrations

[Ron]

Talented kiddies you've got there in NSW!
