Klompenkunst - Turn the kids into artists

Would Opa en Oma have some old clogs lying around? Let the grandkids ask them if you can turn it into an artwork.

Or buy a clog or two at your local Dutch shop. Or make a fake one :-).

Bring them along to the Big Dutch Day Out, and they will get judged, and go into the Klompenkunst Competitie to win Prizes.  More info: Klompenkunst-ClogArt-Competition 

Mind you...! We will test on the local river if they can sail, or float (pulled on a string). They must be 'seaworthy' zeewaardig.
