Teach this child of yours to obey you - stop washing the walls and make HER do it! Why should she stop - she is having fun watching you clean up after her. First its the walls, then its her room (oh! do you do that already) - Come on you young mothers out there, try and remember what your mother would have done. Teach your child RESPECT - the respect of your wishes,the respect of her home, to respect her sister's "things" - etc. if respect is NOT taught at HOME - are you ready for the phone calls from the school, other parents and then the Police. It all begins at home. Your children are the product of the 4 walls in which you raise them, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Start now, put your foot down, and let her clean up. She's old enough to disobey you, she is old enough to clean her own mess.

Color wonder is a miracle from the crayon god. They are a little more exspencive but they will only write on the special paper. They have markers and finger paint. As for your other daughters crayons put them up high where the little one cant reach. Oh by the way they are from crayola and you can find them on the crayon aisle. If you dont want to do this there is some really good cleaner called greased lightning it's cheap and it takes everything off your walls and cloths. It's a msut have anyway. Good luck.

A 3 years old kid, feel motivated by contest, so what it have worked for me is to create an imaginary contest, that the Boy/girl who made the best drawing in this big sheet of paper that I am going to hang up on this very special (for kid artist) wall, would have a big surprise... So then the kid will feel motivated to make drawings in the correct place, do not expect that some other times (few) you will have some other drawings on the wall, but you can manage that contestants would loose their opportunity of been in the challenge if the ever draw the wall again, that would reinforce, one way or the other you will never get rid of been arround, so you can prevent, the kid gets near of your walls again... This helps a little but you been close, helps even more..

Get the lid of a huge box or cut something like a oven box or something to be about 4 or 5 inches high. Put the crayons and paper and coloring books inside the box. Explain that's where the crayons/markers/colored pencils live. You can go visit the crayons but they can't visit you.
Everytime the crayons come out of the box, for any reason, take them away for the day. Before you go to bed at night, put them back in the box and let her try again.

to report her...if there's a way, wait until her mom is abusing her daughter again and call 911 or ur local police and tell them the address and situation. tell them that you want to be anomynous and not reported as a hero on the newspaper or something. the media can be...well, nosy to say the least of it. there's not really a way to have ur parents not know, since police will probably interview you, and if u stay at the garage the mom mgiht see you. to help the daughter, you could ask around if anyone wants to help an abused daughter and if they would want to temporarily adopt a child. make sure u meet each person in person with an adult though. and at least tell them the situation...maybe they'll soften and at least let you call the police? even if they do "kill" you or ground you for the longest time...they can't do worse than what that girl has been going through

Without taking the markers and crayons away?
Get some big sketching paper and tape it to the walls as high as she can reach where she's been coloring. That way it doesn't go on the wall.
Eventually, take the papers down one by one and show her where it's okay to color (where the paper still hangs).....working your way to only coloring at the table or on the floor.
She will eventually learn that it is not okay to use the walls....but don't worry - EVERYONE with a toddler/preschooler has 'art' on the walls!

Some tighter controls on the crayons seems in order. Have specific coloring times where you're there to monitor their usage. Consider some discipline in whatever manner appropriate to stop the bad behavior. Finally, Crayola has a lot of various safety crayons/markers that can make clean up a lot easier... Just some thoughts..

either get a white board and put it on the all or get some huge paper and place it on the wall where she normally colors. Place the paper even further than she can reach and cover most of the wall if you can. That way she cant color on any of the wall.

Make sure your older daughter puts her crayons away. You could get a container for the crayons that the older children can open but she can't. Make them both clean the walls, if the crayons are left out. Make sure she always has paper available to her, that she can get herself.

Get the color wonder markers. They really don't write on anything outisde of the color wonder paper. Or if you give her crayons supervise the number she can use at a time and have her return them to you so that you keep track of all the crayons, thus she can't write on the walls.
