Some kids are little artists that feel misunderstood. Normal people with their narrow minds simply don't see the beauty in a room full of paint ...
... or a colorfully decorated bed.
Just like they cannot appreciate creative wall paper designs ...
... or creative visionaries that are not afraid to get in touch with their inner artist ...
... or show their creative outbursts to every living being.
If you want to be the best parent ever, here are some ideas on how to provide your kids with things to draw on without creating a coloful disaster. Don't just have them draw on boring paper with dull crayons.
Let the world inspire them.
All the world is a canvas ... following these ideas.
Let your kids use sidewalk chalk to draw on the floor or better still, a tree. The rain will wash it all away and leave room for another masterpiece. (For other creative ways to use sidewalk chalk, click here)
Let them draw on the walls without getting in trouble afterwards. Chalkboard paint or a thin chalkboard film turns a normal wall into your kids very own blackboard.
Another possibilitiy is special washable wall paper and these washable crayons that wipe off floors, walls and toys very well.
You could also put up huge sheets of art paper on the walls and have a painting party with all your kids' friends.
Let them draw on food like bread or toast.
Edible paint can easily be produced by mixing some drops food coloring with a little bit of water. 
With food writers your kids could do some marshmallow art. I recommend the kid-friendly and easy to use Gourmet Writers by Americolor. They have a nice flow and allow you to draw finer details with the tips.
If your kids are eager to really get in touch with paint like the two little boys above, draw on their faces with face paint or offer your own face as canvas.
It doesn't have to stop at the face. You kids can use their whole body to create a masterpiece.
Colorful foot prints on bed linen or paper make awesome paintings.
The same goes for little hands and fingers on paper, cardboard or fabric.
Using a toothbrush and splashing the colors all over the place is also great fun, although probably best done outside.
Let your kids' imagination run wild and I'm sure you will join them with some of these creative paintings. As Albert Einstein said: Creativity is contagious. Pass it on!
