Another thing kids are not as helpful as you might think

Really with their help it took me over 2 hours.  When I went back by myself and did a second coat, it was about 30 minutes and nowhere near as messy.

 

Oh, and in case you’re wondering magnetic paint does not come off very easily.  Not at all.

    So jealous of your available wall space. I am sure it would take 6 hours with one kid 🙂

    My daughter helped my husband paint a wall when she was about 2 but she just stayed in one little spot going up and down with her roller :). I'm not so sure it would be the same if we did it now, six months later lol.

    Are you making an entire magnetic wall? Can't wait to see what you are going to do with that!

    I have a pit in my stomach thinking about my 3 helping paint a wall! I can't wait to see your final product.

    Oh wow…you've just silenced me for the forseeable future in my requests to my husband to “let the kids help” with painting projects 🙂

    I have some painting to do, but I am not ready for all the “help” I would get.

    Does magnetic paint really work? Do magnets hold things on it well? If yes, I may think of making a piece of wall like that. You have one great big wall for it ! Wow!

    So cool!

    Love that you let the kids help and get messy! Slower but definitely more fun.

    Looks a little like Olivia the Pig's artwork. At least they had your permission!
