If the kids start smearing food all over the walls everyone will notice. Mostly flies and ants.

just get Chalkboard paint and some chalk

I didn’t know wallpaper was still a thing. Back when I was a kid, my mom had a wallpaper hanging business. She paid us kids to help. We hung a lot of wallpaper and saw a lot of homes. When our kids were growing up, we just painted the walls plain. One kid used the wall by his bed like a chalkboard — which didn’t bother us in the least. When he grew up and moved away, we took a picture of his accumulated work, then painted over it.

You have to know that somewhere, someone has take out a patent on this….

Why not get “Yellow Wallpaper” where kids can go hide?

Yes, and with that home environment, people will love when you come to visit with your kids.

I know right where my peanut butter sandwich would go! You know, ‘cause making art with your food is way more rewarding than making art with crayons and other stuff used to make art. Crayons and paste are for eatin’…シ

Okay, what I need is the Spray Time wall paper. Water proof and already looking like the dogs shook mud and grass all over it. Actually, I suppose I already have that. DIY …sigh

I think it’s been done before.

Those are actually pretty good! I’ll take several yards of the one with octopuses. (You don’t have any with penguins, do you?)

Why is Bleeb so happy, there are no skirt to look up.

Not a bad wallpaper idea

Most kids prefer to start with a clean slate so their art will be original.

If you can’t lick ’em, join ’em.

An invitation for kids to have fun. What could go wrong
