A fatherly ponderance
I realised that it is far overdue to introduce Little Penguin to the wonders of crayons and allow him to express his artistic interpretations.
However I am torn on one issue. We have plenty of paper in the house and obviously a desire that he concentrates his energy with crayons on that but what about the walls? Is it right to encourage him to concentrate wholly on paper or surrender the first couple of foot of the walls to crayonial expression?
We don’t have any wallpaper so that’s not an issue and most of the walls are painted white so wholloping them afterwards with white paint when he’s out of that stage isn’t a problem.
Thoughts appreciated.

How bloody liberal yoghurt weaver are you gonna become – crayons are for paper, walls are for holding the bloody house up!!! Encourage Little Penguin to write on your walls and how will he know that it’s wrong to write on my walls?

Bad idea, dude.
Paul has a point, you sound like a hippy.

So that’s two no’s then. Me a hippy, that’s a scary concept. Don’t tell me I’m getting more Liberal in my old age, isn’t it supposed to work the other way around? Actually I don’t think he’s going to go for the walls anyway. He seems to have already picked up that crayons are for paper. Well, that and for my jumper and face as well.
