Mam offers to give her kids away for free after they cover family home with black paint

A mother of two was left foaming at the mouth after her two toddlers decided to cover their newly-decorated residence in black paint as part of an 'art project'. Kerry Jones took to social media to share her distress after she woke up to find her youngsters had 'ruined the whole house'.

The 22-year-old was awoken by her partner Callum Sheriff Johnson, yelling 'get up' before realising Lacie-Rae, four, and Eliza-Skye, two, had left their mark. The two tots had smothered artistic handprints across the walls and footprints on the floor into the living room with B&Q paint ruining a brand new £75 rug and costly sofas in the process.

Both toddlers were pictured on social media by their distraught mother, covered head to toe in black paint, while posing innocently - with their hands completely blackened from their reign of terror. Kerry believes that Lacie-Rae who had been doing hand painting at school around the time, had climbed onto a chair to unlock their spare bedroom door while her unaware parents were sleeping - allowing her to break into the 'easy-open' paint - The Manchester Evening News reports.
