Rainy day outside?? Keep the kids busy for hours with this!!

I don't know why I haven't been doing this for years with my kids! My littlest one was sick with fever for about a week and it was a nasty rainy week as well. So..... to cheer her up and bring a sunny day INSIDE, even if it wasn't so sunny outside, I decided to break out the sidewalk chalk.  Yep, sidewalk chalk! We drew a beautiful sun and flowers and birds right on the wall. She loved it! And so did I. Since then, I have been allowing everyone to have a blast drawing all over the walls, and they love it of course because it's not something most kids get to do, rather they would normally be in trouble for it. Not with sidewalk chalk though. You can allow them to decorate, play games, get their boredom out, and it all can be wiped away with a simple wet cloth!  No chalkboard paint needed....unless you prefer that. It's fun for everyone, little ones, parents, and yes..... even the forever bored teenager will enjoy this.

I hope all of you try it and enjoy every second of it. Forget the old uptight 'don't draw on the wall' attitude and just have fun!! They and you will remember it forever.
It's amazing how creative they can be :)
Here's to throwing out the rules for once :)   Have Fun!!
