The boys both went through this too, we ended up just putting ALL pens, crayons, markers everything ut of their reach. We did make them clean it and all but nothing besides avoiding the problem worked.

I just hide everything writeable and still i found scribbles on my living room wall yesterday

they must smuggle the pencils in when we're not looking

no advice other than they grow out of it

I know how you feel hun Dylan used to do the same when he was 2 thought it was great to draw mummy pictures on the wall, I just put all pen's pencil's ect out of this reach he did grow out of it himself now I can give him pencil's and paper and he won't go near my wall's :-))

hopefully she too will grow out of it, that's the onlky advice I have. xx

You done the right thing ALY. We sometimes have to seem harsh to make them understand. You cant have her going round drawing on other peoples walls which might be the next step up from your walls. Its the only way they learn is if they are shown. My son drew on the walls once and i took all his pencils away. We alloted drawing time during the day s we could sit down together and draw a beautiful picture which was mummy and jack time but was also supervised so no drawing happened anywhere else but on paper. Now he is 6 all he does is draw.lol

nicole used to do it when she was that age too. you'd go into a room and find big smilie faces on the walls.
she'll grow out of it hun, just make sure you keep everything out of reach but lke mamafy said they smuggle them in.!

lil monkey!!! Jack hasnt attempted this yet, tho he did go through a stage of drawing on the carpet while he was sat on the floor WITH paper!

Luckily we have those washable pens, incase he tries to draw on my cream leather settee!

Ohh i've not really experienced this much , But i did find josh drawing on the downstairs wall once & only once , I let him watch me throw is pencils in the bin. He never done it since. Maybe harsh but he learnt straight away we do not draw on walls , & that if he wants to draw he has to ask for paper. I just get the big packets of asda printing paper for something silly like £2 for hundreds of sheets now & he gets those

My daughter went through this too when she was about 3, and she used to peel off her bedroom wallpaper. Last year i was cleaning the house and she wanted to help i was getting something from the bathroom and when i came back she had put bleach all over the tv :O
