DS (2,5) is enjoying himself with wall painting lately. Look at what he came up with this week!

I am so eager to leave this apartment so I couldn't really care less about his doodles on the wall (the new owner is doing a total renovation once we are out)

This one feels like such a good sign that we might finally be about to take off.

Thanks!

He also scribbled something that looks like a head of a woman with a cool hair. I heard of some little girl (think she was French) who was doing this and her parents started to sell her art for huge amounts of money.

does the paint come off?

I don't know but I guess it could. I kind of like this drawing and also the woman's head drawing all though it doesn't look like a Jewish woman!

No problems with the landlord. He needs to change evrything in this house once we are finally out. You'd not believe what kind of apartment I live in. Mega Tikkun going on here!

I keep hiding our pens and they always come out somehow! The candle drawing was made after some serious climbing on water bottles to reach the white board pen in the kitchen!
I was thinking of getting the kind of paper that painters put on the floor when they paint walls and simply stick it to the walls. This way the toddler and baby can paint away without any damage. But that would be in the next house...

When I was a preschool teacher, I put a huge sheet of repositional white contact paper on one wall in the classroom. The kids used to have a blast!

Now I feel certai that this is a great idea. Might look a bit weird in a house though.

We use the "Magic Eraser" on the walls in our house. I think it's by the Mr. Clean guy. Works like a charm and even took an indelible sharpie marker of green ink off of a wall!

Ceiling seems like a better place, not as obvious and extremely artistic! I think they pay people who do artistic work on ceilings pretty good. Very Happy
