I think so too! Nearly every waking moment it’s all she wants to do!
Such a great shot, I keep debating on doing a chalk wall but am afraid the drawing will continue onto other walls of the house and I think we finally broke that habit.

I found that limiting to where they can color on the wall really helped reduce where it ended up. Our walls (including this one) are not chalkboard paint, but we did paint with very easy to clean paint, thankfully!
What a great idea! I’ve been debating painting our kitchen table with chalkboard paint to encourage creativity like that!

I think that’s why we may be a little *crazy* — it’s not actually chalkboard paint
We have limited to where she can draw on the wall to that one only so it doesn’t end up everywhere. Chalk comes off surprisingly well thanks to our paint though.
How sweet is that! Hey, at least you’re embracing, accepting, and encouraging her budding talents-she’ll probably grow up to be the newest Picasso ^.^

I hope so Kayla! Fostering their talents is more important to me right now than a pristine house
Great that it’s on the chalk wall. No where else. She is going to be quite the artist.

We have designated that the chalk wall (its not specially painted though) because otherwise there would be marker & chalk E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E

Oh I love chalk boards!!! I need to get one for my toddler, it’d be a great way to keep him occupied

I should’ve bought a bigger chalk board so she could reach it & maybe it would stay off my wall and couch
it is a GREAT way to keep them occupied though!

At least it’s not permanent marker on your walls.
