Making my Walls Fun!!

OK, so I'm tired of yelling at the kids when I find that one of them has used my clean walls for a drawing board. So I decided to make it a fun and OK thing to color on my walls. I decided to make an art center in my kitchen for the kids to use. We don't drink, and we don't have bar stools, so the overhang in our kitchen wasn't being used for anything. So I decided to be creative. I went to Ace Hardware and bought a can of chalkboard paint, and four bulldog clips. I then went to Hobby Lobby and bought a roll of butcher paper and VOILA!! My kids are able to color on the walls and not get yelled at!! They each end up spending about 2 hours or more a day coloring, painting, or chalk boarding here. Its been wonderful!!
