Somehow, I managed to create two children who have never drawn or painted on our walls. Ironically, I actually wanted to encourage them to do so.
We live in Arizona, so outdoor play is a year-round experience here. Sometimes in mid-summer, though, we have to take shelter from the heat & sun around noon for a bit. So I wanted to extend our indoor space and make a creation space for the kids (…and me). And so, our art wall was born!
There is always someone out there. It makes me so happy. I’ve found, if I just leave the step stool, brushes and paints out, it’s an open invitation to stop and create.
