I guess even if they had a blackboard wall at their own home, there is always the confusion when they are at other people's houses and if someone happens to have a "black" wall they would probably want to write on it. I guess if they were told that they can only write on walls like this one in "their room at Grannie's house", it might stick with them, but I may have to re-think this one.

I just wanted to comment on the blackboard wall. This is a great idea, but make sure the children know that they can only draw on that wall. I used to babysit a few children and I could not understand why one little girl (16 months) kept trying to draw on one particular wall with everything she could get her hand on, lego blocks, plastic toys, etc. -- then when we visited her home we found out why, her parents had turned the end of a cupboard into a drawing surface with paper taped to it so when she saw a similar surface at our house she just thought that was where she could draw and colour. I felt bad for her because something that was encouraged at home was being discouraged at her home-away-from home. She was very confused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
