I have always made sure to have chalk at home for that very reason. My children drew on our walls outdoors, on the paving with no worries. I always use to tell them that the rain or hosepipe will clear it... Show moreI have always made sure to have chalk at home for that very reason.

Now that they are older, they sometimes go outside with their chalk and make notes or practice work that they need to know for a test or exam.

@Adriana I realised I was going to have to come up with a solution quickly when @Makayla decided to draw her family on kitchen cupboards at a house we were renting....

I found big chunky chalk and paint and told her she could fill all the walls and walkways outside. It entertained her for hours.

Later it became one of her study methods.

@Gabriella also did the same. And last year while she studied in the kitchen while I was cooking, she wanted to work a sum out and I told her to get her white board markers out and to use the kitchen tiles as it could be wiped off. It is now not uncommon to walk into our kitchen during exam time and see notes on the wall tiles haha and of course chalk on the walls outdoors.

But I always say, if it is fun they are going to remember it for a really long time.

So sweet and true ❤️

@Adriana Yes, I was delighted to see it on our street ...😍

para hablar mejor de esos temas no hay como los niños, ellos no se encuentran contaminados por tantos prejuicios que los adultos tenemos de las cosas de este mundo en que vivimos, ellos con su inocencia y pureza nos dan lecciones sorprendentes
