Okay, lets be honest....not EVERYTHING our little artists do is priceless!
They need a place to create, and CHANGE their artwork...and I don't think it should just be on paper. That is why I wholeheartedly believe EVERY home should have a chalkboard in it! Remember all that wall space I had/have? Well, I devoted one of those walls solely to a large chalkboard with chalk paint, white paint, some wood trim from Menards, and a helpful husband to see the project through. Step 1: Paint, many coats of chalk paint.
Step 2: Paint the trim to desired color .
Step 3: Have husband measure, cut, and screw in the trim to the wall,
and there you have it, a forever changing piece of wall art, used for many purposes. In the summer it usually lists mom's plan for routines, and chores, and then somehow gets wiped away to, well, more fun stuff...like this....
The last couple months, art has been used to campaign, desperately, for a new family member. Here are some (and really, only SOME) of the examples of campaign posters adorning our doors and hallways...

| Please, mom and dad- have mercy on the mis-treated pets. |

| Okay, so the spelling needs some work, but the research was intense! |
And here is what happens to our magnificent chalkboard during these intense campaigns....
Yes, every family needs a chalkboard!
