2 questions- cross posted to relavant ng
1. Bonnie LOVES to draw on our BIG window in the livingroom.. no big deal it
washes off with window cleaner. Actualy the green comes off easier then the black but it does not look green. Is there a product that is made for drawing on glass or is crayon the best option for now? 2. Do you find it is better to join in on a activity or watch? For example if Bonnie is coloring a picture I sometimes color one with her. I imagine one way we are kinda playing together and the other way I am paying attention more to what she is doing.

Is there a product that is made for drawing on glass or is crayon the best option for now? Yep, I'm not sure of the exact name of them, but my friend brought over some markers that the kids could use on glass/mirrors and they wiped off really well. Look where the crayons are kept at probably any store to see if they have them. 2. Do you find it is better to join in on a activity or watch? I typically do other things when they are occupied with an activity. Don't get me wrong, I would play with them, but if I had cleaning or work to do, I would do that first. That's just the way I am. I did a lot of incorporating them into my day and they got a big kick out of it. -- Sue (mom to three girls) |

You can also mix powdered tempera paints with a little laundry soap and paint the windows. 2. Do you find it is better to join in on a activity or watch? If you join in, the key is for her to lead the activity. Best wishes, Ericka |

At the Crayola Factory, there is an activity which consists of a big curved glass wall, and you're invited to grab some markers and write on it. Whiteboard markers, as someone else mentioned, give off some nasty fumes. |

(BG) lol dont give her any ideas... she LOVES to put diaper rash cream on the panneled walls as well.. I dont encourage that activity even though it washes off with warm water and dish soap Tori -- Bonnie 3/02 Xavier 10/04 |

OK, so don't let her get white board marker in the furniture. If Crayola washable markers will write on glass, as someone else suggested, that would be the way to go. |

Actualy the green comes off easier then the black but it does not look green. Is there a product that is made for drawing on glass or is crayon the best option for now? Found this: http://www.grandparentsmagazine.net/summercrafts.htm Crayola Window FX Markers (Binney & Smith ages 5 and up. $4.99)\ ohhhhhhhhh they sound SUPER cool! I want some wonder if I can get them here! lol Our problem would be teaching Ty to limit his drawing to the windows though :-( These markers are fun for a change of pace. If you have little grandchildren that like to write everywhere but on paper, they will love these. For the faint at heart - fear not! These clean up really quickly with a window cleaner. I had fun with these myself writing notes on the door like "Happy Birthday Alex," "Yeah, Summer's Here!" and other things. If you're really creative you could do messages every time your grandchild comes to visit! This is an inexpensive and fun craft accessory! 2. Do you find it is better to join in on a activity or watch? For example if Bonnie is coloring a picture I sometimes color one with her. I imagine one way we are kinda playing together and the other way I am paying attention more to what she is doing. I think if you color with her that is fine as long as you are not drawing so well that she gets discouraged. If she is scribbling, rather than draw, scribble with her. Also comment on how she is making lots of blue lines or red circles or whatever she is making. If you draw really well, it *can* be discouraging because your child hasn't the coordination of an adult. I had one student whose mom was an artist who wouldn't draw or paint at all, but always asked the teachers to draw a *car* or a *dinosaur* or whatever for him. We generally didn't do that and encouraged him to draw whatever scribbles and abstract art he wanted to draw.

Tori -- Bonnie 3/02 Xavier 10/04 My DD likes me to draw the head and body and she fills in the rest.Legs and arms go in the appropriate spost these days. Today she did a big scribble between the legs and called it a hairy bottom. I killed myself laughing and stuck it straight up on the wall.sometimes I copy what she draws but mostly she likes to fill in the body and face parts. Alissa |
