Have Your Children Ever Colored On Your Walls?

When my twins were very small, they found some crayons and went all over the wall of their bedroom. We had to get out the "Sp*ic and Span" (this is a product that is used to clean stuff. It is in a box and is a green powder that you mix with water.)and remove their árt work. They were about two or three years old at the time and it amazes me how they could get out of their crib and find the crayons to draw over the wall. I think we also had to repaint the wall as well.

That's quite the artwork my little nephew did there!!! JT has colored on his walls & i've used the magic erasers like you have on the most of it; however, there is 1 spot behind his tv that i've just kinda left that as a little keepsake if u will lol. he did it when he was a lot younger & i just think it's artwork lol.

This happened to me before the magic erasers were invented. My daughter was 2 and a friend had asked me to watch her 2 1/2 year old girl. Well I was trying to clean house (a rental mind you) when I walked into the kitchen and there stood friends child with a RED PERMANENT marker in her hand!! It was all over the tile, walls,cabinets everywhere including all over my daughter!! I don't know where the child even found that marker! I was livid. I had to scrub and scrub to get it off of everything. I was furious.

No I was lucky my kids never did do that but not so long ago my nephew got a permanent marker that my other half had left on the table and drew all over a freshly painted feature wall Lets just say that my other half was not very happy about this!

I don't have kids yet but I do remember itching to draw on walls when I was a kid. I might have done some damage around the house, but my mom had our house remodeled a few years ago so now all the evidence of my naughtiness is gone. I do hope that when I have kids of my own, they won't be as naughty as me! :)

My two year old somehow snuck a crayon into her room and when she was supposed to be in bed she was decorating her room!! There were marks everywhere and as far up as she could reach. She had lines going all the way around the room. After awhile I could here that she was still up and went in her room to put her back to bed and I was shocked. It took me hours and hours the next day with the magic eraser to get it all off the walls. Needless to say she didn't color for a little while and now the colors are well out of reach and she only uses them while I am right there by her!!

so cute! I think all kids do that. I learned when my kids were younger to always keep a cheap tube of regular toothpaste and a cheap can of hairspray on hand. The toothpaste removes crayon like magic and the hairspray removes ink and they can be bought at the dollar store cheaper than anything.

My son did not color on the walls but he would draw a line to see how much he grew. Every so often you would see the line a little higher. When I asked he about it, he told me that he was keeping track of how tall he was growing, it was just a small line in pencil, so I did not fret too much over it.

my three year old and six year old has colored on their bedroom walls which made me very angry. does Mr Cleans Magic Erasers really work?

well not really, coz im not yet having a child lmao..but i have a nephews who used to do that, we told them to stop n gave them a paper for exchange ;) coz we dont want to limit their creativity, just draw anything wat they like but provide the media for that..but if it happens accidently coz we didnt notice them when they're coloring it, then its alright hahaha..wat else can we do, just wait till we paint the house again hahah..

We have to pay extra for our apartment for repainting when we moved out because my kids colored their bedroom walls. They love to color. My husband already told them not to. We bought them 3 reams of bondpapers to draw on so they will not draw the walls anymore. Now they are no longer drawing the walls but scattering the papers all over the place. Kids are kids you know. I am providing boxes now where they can place the papers that they have just colored.Oh well, they will only be kids once so we have to extend our patience with them.;-)

oh yes my children too were very fond of colouring the walls and despite warnings they practiced writing alphabets and drawing animals,etc whenever they found that nobody was watching them.its really cute to watch though we get angry but with time they understood this and left their job of colouring the walls.

Nice post singlemommy. There can't be many of us moms that have not experienced this as soon as the children reach toddler stage! I saw your solution to with magic erasers - and was reminded of the old fashioned solution which was, believe it or not, to use bread as an erasor. Now i wonder if that would work or not?! Could be a bit different today with the newer generation of felt tips etc!

lord yes. my two old son colored all over my walls. every single wall in the house i do believe. the magic eraser work but dang all the color to wipe up! He has also somehow gotton ahold of a marker and went to town with that. it seems like no matter what you do they always find something to get into to. What gets me is my son has a million coloring books and wont color a single page! But you know,i did find a chalkboard paint at my local walmart and painted chalkboard on his bedroom wall and he loves it! he does not color on the walls as often. try the chalkboard paint it goes on almost anything. The pic you took is too funny!

yea my 2 year old juast did this yesterday , i too have a lot of magic erasers on hand and love them. we rent and i cannot have marks on the walls.

I think my daughter had written on her walls before. She hasn't done it since. Although, she has taken a stamp to our living room wall here recently.

Yes they did and as you I was upset at first until I realized that they thought they had really done something wonderful so I just let it go and next time I watched very carefully while they were coloring.You have a great night.

Almost all my 5 children did and after awhile i had a special wall just for them to paint on..lol..Now My grandkids do it and i don't have the upset feelings like i did with my kids since i know Mommy and Daddy's homes are worse..lol..

Hi singlemom!! I was amused actually, hehheehe,, I just remember my godson who happened to "pooh" inside the folder with an important documents. He was then 2 years old and I guess he knows what he's doing cause he put the folder inside my cabinet and hide it......was so ewwwwww lol
