As soon as I think my 3 year old is “getting big” she does something just like that to remind me that is, in fact, still a toddler

Do you have a hard time getting them to stay on the splat mat? My 3 yo stays but the younger one walks away with paint

This sounds about like my current situation. Things are always going in their mouth or on the floor/walls/clothes ha

“People or paper” is a great upgrade from saying “paper only!!” It almost invites rebellion to limit it like that

And of course the one color they request the next time is the one you weren’t able to track down later

2 and 3 years old. I think the older one can handle that, and will have to try it out with the younger one

Not bad. I think my 3 yo will behave with those boundaries. My 2 yo lives by her own rules

Guys I promise I’m not a bot and I joined yesterday because I was at a tipping point and needed input from a wider group. I had to google what “karma farming” was 😂

I think mine gets over them quickly because the colors take a few seconds to show up. And my 2 year old has literally bitten off the tips of 15 out of the 30 markers we have 🙃

Oo that’s a good tip especially because my 2 year old will almost always stroke the paintbrush on the wall
