There are some people who spring out of bed bouncing around like an 80's workout video. We're not one of those people, nor is Ohdeedoh reader Laura, who made this great creative diversion for her kids yesterday. It worked beautifully and gave her a few extra minutes in the morning. Click through to see how it works!

Laura runs the great little blog Chicken Counting and is nice enough to share her morning art attack with us! Before going to bed, she left out art supplies and a note to start the morning off creatively. Her kids took right to it and so did she.

It allowed her those extra few minutes to come out of sleep without requests for pancakes, spaceships and all those other things kids seem to want at 6am. Everyone enjoyed the project, in fact her kids have now requested that everyday start with art!

You can check out the photos above and their larger counterparts over at Flickr and Chicken Counting.

Thanks Laura!
