My youngest is the only one who's ever drawn on the walls. and with a blue pen too. Very hard to get off

My budding artist has her moments, but she also knows that she must never draw on anything but paper.  She is also learning to differentiate successfully between paper she is allowed to draw on, her diary for instance, and that that must never be drawn on - story books for instance.  Sometimes it gets confusing when she sees me write her name in the front page, but i think that she is beginning to understand that now that she recognises her name more easily. 

These days she even tries to remove the accidental marks elsewhere.  It is so lovely, and immediately diffuses my disappointment.

I found i great product that must have been created by a mum. I bought iesha markers that only work on the 'magic' paper. They are made by crayola. They're great. Even if she does draw on something other than the paper it never shows up. Best product i've seen in a long time.

When we were little my parents had a wall painted with blackboard paint.  Mum says that it worked a treat!  It also comes in very handy now as a message board for when everyone is passing in the night .

I am so lucky, I didn't have this issue with my kids...but I did with my sisters when they came aound....and it was frustrating to say the least...

Marlena has a great little invention too....magic erasers....they are just brilliant!!

Magic Erasers take marker off the wall with no problem. 

Hi
I have a good suggestion....paint the bottom half of your walls blackboard paint...then they can draw to their hearts content......heheeheheheh
