The past two months, all Keira wants to do is grab a pen or pencil that's laying around and scribble!!! Yes - scribble, scribble, scribble...
Although, I'm thankful that she does not draw on walls or the flooring or any other surface. She looks for paper and draws on paper - any paper she can find, whether it's a plain white paper or a namecard or a newspaper.
Such a thoughtful little darling ain't she for not scribbling on the walls or floor! :) Nevertheless, my concern is still the fact that at her age, holding a pen and pencil would be much too dangerous so both Kevin and i are extra careful these days on where we leave our pens and pencils at home.
I did the next best thing... Went to the store the other day to buy toddler-friendly giant crayons and a drawing block so that my little girl may experiment with colors and expand her creativity. She LOVES it as the crayon is much easier for her to grasp in her hand and swirl around to scribble. And she holds not one, but multiple crayons at a time as well.
She takes the drawing block and crayons on the bed or on the floor (practically anywhere and everywhere!) with her, and while watching her favorite shows she scribbles to her heart's content until she tires out... Oooh, I can't wait to get her started on painting soon! :)
