...WASHABLE MARKERS!! I left Keegen with a pile of paper and a marker in the kitchen. We tend to just do painting and coloring on the hardwood floor of our kitchen. We've had one time when i let them use what claimed to be "washable" Rose Art brand markers. Well, they ain't washable. We have green marker stains on the floors here and there. So i left Keegs to be creative for, oh, 20 seconds at best? And came back to find deep, dark red all over the floor. And, PHEW! it came off with the swipe of a wet rag.
I walked back in the kitchen a moment later and realized i hadn't gotten it all. Not at all. He'd also colored all over the lower kitchen cabinets. Virgin territory. I didn't know if it would wipe off. And again, relief when it did.
SO, thank you to the Crayola people. Thank you thank you thank you. I will never stray to the (Rose Art) dark-side again. Even if they were only 12 cents on clearance at Target last year.
And honestly. I NEVER had to worry about Bode coloring on anything BUT the paper. Such the rules-follower is he. His baby brother, however...

I hate it when they start up a new habit all of the sudden. Ethan never colored on walls and then one day I came up and he'd colored on every piece of furniture we own. Crazy.
Washable markers are AWESOME, except for non-treated wood. Sigh. My poor table.
totally love crayola. i am not super in love with those invisible markers, though-- i guess it's the lack of creativity or something, since they have to draw on the premade paper and all that. so, yeah! love crayola! (you get what you pay for, non?)
Isn't it true that one of the first rules a child learns is colors ONLY go on the paper? :) Eli took a dry erase marker to the fridge once and boy oh boy was that a trick cleaning off!
So true! We love washable markers at our house! If we find something that isn't washable I grab it and throw it in the trash immediately. I don't want to take any chances especially with Morgan around and I guess sometimes with Adam still! Who am I kidding? Ha, ha!
Nice! So glad it all came off - Crayola washables rock!:) I was luckily able to save our kitchen cabinet in MD from permanent red pen stains with a magic eraser - naughty children!!:)
