Group Aims To Reveal Scary Truth Of Kid Sports Injuries
Rochelle Jewel Shapiro: Rock On, Madonna!
Let your kids draw on the walls
Filed under: Toys
I've always thought it'd be cool to let my daughter decorate one wall of her bedroom by herself. Then I remember that she's 2, and may not enjoy staring at the same scribbles and stick figures for months until I get around to painting over whatever she comes up with.
Then I stumbled on this post at babygadget, that gives this idea a little more structure. It's a wallpaper full of empty, hand-drawn frames, that you're meant to fill in with your child.
As the writer notes: "Now, of course, you could just as easily hang blank paper and let your visitors, children and family go wild..." That's true. But the nice thing about the wallpaper is that it gives the project a sense of permanence. It's one thing to make some doodles, but it's something different when you're creating the environment you're going to live in. Hopefully a project like this would instill this idea -- at least in part -- in the mind of your budding interior designer.

Heather said...Our bathroom wall, currently has lots of doodles made with soap crayons. I think that is a great idea.

When I was a baby, my uncle, a phenomenal wildlife artist, painted a mural on my wall. Now, 30-ahem-years later, my parents are considering selling that house. But we are at a loss as to what to do with that beautiful piece of art that is painted on the wall. We have come to the conclusion that we can't save a 6 foot by 8 foot hunk of drywall, so we'll have to paint over it. I will cry the day that happens.
My advice is to use the "removable" method. Hang a bunch of papers on the wall, or use the removable wallpaper, so that if your little Monet does something really good, something worth saving, you can save the original and not just a photo.
