Led by big sister Madison, 13, the five children of the Rutherford family have well and truly put the art into the chalk art in front of their Robertson home.
They have even extended there creativity across a wall of their home and the letterbox.
Proud mum Raven Rutherford said her children were inspired by the recently formed Facebook group, Rainbow Trail Australia.

"All five took to the front of the house one afternoon with chalk," she said.
"They painted the bricks rainbow and it all spiralled from there.
"Our 13-year-old Madison has always loved to draw and paint and she really enjoyed creating all these pictures for the people of Robertson to enjoy as they go on their daily walks.
"I also share them on our local Facebook page , The Robertson Commons for those who can't get out to see them in person.
"There's been a great response to them so far."
Included in Madison's chalk creations were two tributes to Anzac Day - a lone soldier and a poppy - each with their own message significant to the day.
"My husband served in the Army for eight years and Anzac Day means a lot to our family, so Madison decided what better way to pay tribute to our soldiers than to draw a special piece of artwork just for them," Raven said.
"I love that our kids are getting outside in the fresh air and being creative during this time.
"It gives them something to look forward to everyday.
"They love it when they see someone walk past and take a pic with one of their drawings, it really fills them with a sense of pride."
Madison's younger siblings added to the photographic appeal of the creative pieces chalked out by their big sister, modelling alongside the works.
