Unfortunately, when our kids draw on the furniture, on the wall, or, for that matter, anywhere in our home that's not a designated "art project," rarely do the results look this good. (This chair was auctioned off for a children's hospital charity after the kids there decorated it with Sharpies.) Would you agree?
Have your kids every drawn on the furniture or elsewhere in your home where they weren't supposed to?

just about everywhere. I am touching up paint because we are considering selling and I have had to basically paint every wall from about 4' high to the floor because of hands, crayons, sidewalk chalk, pens and whatever else they get their hands on!
My son has drawn on the walls a few times. I've had good luck with those magic erasers getting his "masterpieces" cleaned up. After seeing that chair, though, I'm tempted to give him some furniture to decorate for me. Too cool!
My three year old has never colored on the walls or furniture, but she has colored a CD with a pen and some other slightly important papers.. only once though.
Oh and she colored her legs once, when I asked what she was doing she proudly said "I color THIS!" and pointed to her legs. It was funny.
the chair looks nice!!! my 3 yr old dd drew on the shower wall with the bath crayons. and she drew me,dad,sis,and grandma. it looked really good!!! i never thought she had it in her(drawing). and that same day she read the word chocolate. i have no idea how she learned that.
you name it and she has drawn on it , my grandchildren have also let their mark, right after i just got done painting 3 rooms , well its going to stay that way until they are done leaving their marks... lol
My kids have colored on every wall in every room of our house, including the ceiling of the dining room (which can be reached from the staircase). Most of it has come off thanks to Magic Erasers but not all of it.
I remember when I was about 14 I got tired of looking at my sickly salmon colored walls (from the previous owners) that I got out my colored pencils and drew a giant peace sign and then drew stuff all around it. It took me a couple days to color in the peace sign and it was over a week before my parents noticed. My dad went ballistic but my mom chalked it up to creativity, lol. I knew it was wrong but at the time I figured we were going to pain eventually anyway and I was going to be the one to wash it all off (knew that already) so I said, "why not."
It was like that for months until we painted and I was so upset to come home from school to find my mom had already washed away half my artwork without taking a picture of it (it covered most of 1 wall by then).
They need a paint/marker combo so that artistic kids can decorate their walls but be easy enough to wash off for when it's time to repaint. We considered doing the chalkboard paint in the kids' room.
omg yes! the carpets, the wall, the tv, bookshelves. litterally everywhere!!!
