Children at a Swindon playgroup have been brushing up on their painting skills to create two murals.

The youngsters, aged between three and five, had a ball when artist Gordon Dickinson, from Old Town, visited the Euclid Street Playgroup in Swindon.

The children drew their pictures and then Gordon a founder member of CAOS, Contemporary Artists of Swindon photocopied them and placed them on the wall within the murals.

"We ended up with a load of mad animals. It was great,'' said Gordon. The project was sponsored by Swindon Council's Artscape.
