Well the point here is I was painting a small piece of wood to make a blackboard and I starting thinking (whoa Dee you are entering dangerous territory here thinking it only gets you into trouble ha ha ) that the LM would love a blackboard to draw on ..... BING a idea popped into my head "why don't I just paint the doors inside my laundry that way the LM has a blackboard and I am eventually getting rid of the doors when we renovate so no harm done.
Yeah great idea Dee you are a legend.......
1- take one set of doors....
2- use some painters tape and mark off where you want the blackboard to end/start....
3-Give the doors 2 coats of black board paint I actually used 3 coats...
4-While last coat of paint is still wet carefully take the tape off the door...
5-Season your board be rubbing chalk all over the board.This is best done while you sing ABBA songs which is what these two are doing...
6- Draw draw and some more drawing and don't forget the fun....
Kevin screwed a little pencil holder onto the door so the LM can put his eraser and chalk into it....
LOOKS GREAT AND LM IS HAVING SO MUCH FUN USING IT ....I WISH I HAD DONE IT EARLIER...
It's a great idea & Aidan looks as though he enjoys it. What other ideas are you going to come up with Deidre?
