I was very excited to find a roll of sticky back dry erase roll in Michael's for $1 (as well as a sticky back chalk board roll, which I haven't tried yet). I cut a piece of it and stuck it to our wall. It peels off easily but doesn't stick too well to the rough paint on our wall, so I added a border of yellow masking tape, which doubles as a border of "allowed to draw on" surface. No easel needed and no space taken!
It works great with an addition of dry erase crayons. Kitten's favorite part is to clean it afterwards (the included with crayons mitten does not work very well but wet paper towel works like a charm). It cleans easily off the wall too, although Kitten is pretty good about staying inside the border.
Chto nazyvaetsya, "kogda mozhne VSE na glazah u mamy" :D
ReplyDeleteThat's what everybody that comes to mu house says :) "Doesn't she just keep drawing on the wall?" But actually no, she is pretty understanding about boundaries.
ReplyDeleteYep, Love and Logic, freedom within boundaries and so on and so forth. Good job Julie :))) You are raising your child right ;))
ReplyDeleteSo nice to get a pat on the shoulder from a psychologist :)
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen us at dinner tonight. Kitten kept being negative - don't want salmon, don't want cauliflower, don't want to eat with the spoon... I told her "My job is to put food in front of you and then you can do whatever you want with it, I don't care how much of what you eat or not eat and how you eat it but you are not getting anything else" :))
