I have to admit that I have eliminated paint from the house because it just got to be too much. We have lots of paper, coloring books crayons, colored pencils and markers. And I have more than one wall drawing just from that. When the paint was getting into without me knowing about it. we had get rid of it for awhile! i feel bad because the fun of mixing colors with paint is the best but my house just couldn't handle anymore surprise art anywhere
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny! I keep my paints locked up for that same reason. I have a mural that I painted in each of my kids rooms- so they always see me painting on my kids walls- it doesn't help!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Thanks for sharing! Doing art with kids is lots of fun :)
