It only took once of biting and breaking a crayon for her to catch on that it wasn't a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809881 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 14:12:24 +0000 Andrea 1809881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sidewalk chalk! She hasn't tried to eat it yet and we are outside so no danger of her coloring on furniture, which she has done a few times already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809820 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:43:02 +0000 Corduroy 1809820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 17 months and she's starting to color after a month or so of practice (practicing not eating &amp; keeping crayons at the table).</p> <p>We've been working on it because she throws tantrums when she's excluded from coloring at daycare. We started with chalk a few months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809778 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:25:40 +0000 bunnylove08 1809778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 23 months and loves to color. Unfortunately she wants to color everything, carpet, other books, walls. She also thinks crayons are lipstick and tries to put it on her lips LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809745 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:15:54 +0000 rachiecakes 1809745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol<br /> J wanted to color/draw at 11 months but he was never a 'put things in his mouth' kind of kid.<br /> Puzzles? He was obsessed with the alphabet puzzles. Still is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809731 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:11:21 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1809731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: LO is 22 months and is just starting to color without eating the crayons. I do have to watch him pretty closely though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809715 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 13:06:10 +0000 autumnlove 1809715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Kids are so gross...I will try those! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809690 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:58:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1809690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD ate crayons for a long time but wouldn't eat play doh... Go figure.</p> <p>We used chalk for a while. She didn't really go after the chalk like she would crayons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-coloring#post-1809640 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:44:43 +0000 autumnlove 1809640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried with LO 2 yesterday and I had to scrape purple crayons out of her teeth. :( </p> <p>Do you have any craft suggestions for LOs that like to eat everything? :P </p>
