Sometimes I have to remind her which irritates me because she's three and knows better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399515 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 08:07:20 +0000 littlebug 2399515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He colored in pencil on baby sister's crib. In all fairness, though, I'd never really told him NOT to color on walls/furniture before, so... though I yelled at him initially, I apologized and then explained that we don't color on furniture or walls. He hasn't done it since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399498 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 07:38:10 +0000 Smurfette 2399498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399490 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 06:57:39 +0000 delight 2399490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has only done it a couple times because we talk constantly about how we only colour on paper. Yesterday for some reason when we got home from running errands she grabbed a marker and started colouring on the cupboards. I have no idea why she did it and I could tell that she immediately felt bad and kept repeating "sorry mommy!" It is an automatic timeout in our house though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399479 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 05:59:55 +0000 travellingbee 2399479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread scares me. He hasn't yet at almost 3 but I'm waiting for it. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399474 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 04:30:37 +0000 Bubbles 2399474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all over the walls - I couldn't get it out without removing the paint 😖 He still has to be closely supervised when drawing at 2. I would love to let him free with his crayons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399438 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 01:07:06 +0000 FannyMae 2399438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why colour in on the boring paper when you can colour in your HANDS AND FEET. its much more fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399436 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 00:56:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2399436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We have leather dining chairs and the back of EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is scribbled on with black ball point pen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2399426 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 00:22:59 +0000 PinkElephant 2399426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um. The day my MIL was due to arrive to help out after DD2 was born, DD1 ran down the hallway with a fistfull of crayons. When I tried to wipe them off the walk, the cheap pain in our awful apartment came right off the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398651 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:59:37 +0000 AprilFool 2398651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All.

I was annoyed but my husband thought she was being creative :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398204 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:58:50 +0000 edelweiss 2398204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>absolutely. on our new ottoman with a blue pen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398199 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:56:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 2398199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, her bed/wall in her room with a marker...LUCKILY it was a dry erase marker! </p> [attach=1477/15/nztixi.240x320.IMG_6348.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398187 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:50:08 +0000 nana87 2398187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep crayons on this plastic Ikea table in her room because she likes to draw multiple times each day, and she knows she's only supposed to draw on the paper but will give me this mischevious look and then scribble on the table next to or under the paper, and then laughs maniacally when I say "we only draw on the paper." Ooooooh boundary testing, how I loathe thee, lol! Thank goodness we went for the cheap plastic table rather than the prettier PBK wooden one I had my eye on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398178 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:46:00 +0000 erinbaderin 2398178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I've found crayon marks on his little play table and the floor. Also the Etch-a-Sketch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398165 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:40:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2398165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she colored on the wall a few weeks ago. I put her in time out then when she came out I made her help me clean it up.</p> <p>She's 3.5 and knows better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398162 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:39:10 +0000 Anagram 2398162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, once we were finger painting (well really, she was finger painting and I was just sitting at the table with her watching) and she hadn't once attempted to paint anything but the paper--so when the baby cried, I went into the room to get her and give her a diaper change.</p> <p>Of course, when I came out, there were fingerpaint prints all over the wall and curtains behind the table. Thankfully, it's all Crayola washable paint and it came right out.</p> <p>I couldn't even be mad at LO--she was only a bit over 2 at the time and I knew it was my mistake. Like, what was I thinking, leaving a 2 year old with fingerpaint while I'm in another room for a full 5-7 minutes. Dumb on my part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398160 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:38:23 +0000 Adira 2398160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - he's colored in books and also the coffee table. I was pretty annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398152 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:36:07 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2398152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - she colored on the kitchen tile with purple crayon this week. It won't come out of the grout. 😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398142 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:32:05 +0000 Cherrybee 2398142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - and she finds my reaction really funny. If she gets hold of a pen, she takes off with it squealing "I'm going to draw on the wall". If I don't chase her to get the pen back, she runs back and waves it in my face. Needless to say, she only gets crayons when she is strapped into a high chair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398124 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:26:47 +0000 coopsmama 2398124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My kitchen cabinets! Thank God they used washable markers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-intentionally-colored-on-something-that-isnt-paper#post-2398118 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:24:56 +0000 mediagirl 2398118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid is typically so good about keeping things neat and tidy. Today she was playing well by herself in the loft at her play table. She was cutting paper and coloring on the paper. I walked out there at one point because I heard a weird noise. She was coloring the bottom of the drawer of the table blue. :/ I was not thrilled. I made her stand and watch me clean it up.</p> <p>Has your child ever intentionally colored on something that shouldn't have crayon/ink/pencil/paint on it? </p>
