Scribbling Space
Providing play space is a major consideration in planning a family home, with the difficulties involved increased by the everpresent need to get the maximum use out of every foot of space. Consequently in many of today’s homes the children’s wet-day recreation area must be in part of the house used by adults—the living room, say, or perhaps the hallway. This has attendant dangers, especially through the temptation of pencils or crayons in keen young fingers. One protective idea is to provide a scribbling wall. Treat part of a wall with a hard, washable paint and reserve it as a blackboard or scribbling board to channel the young artist’s handiwork to a place where it can do no harm.
