WARNING: I am not an unschooler.
However, I live a lifestyle that is very unschooly and this has been a MAJOR issue for me as well. My DD8 created an art bin that went in her room so she could access it when she wanted.
So far.....DD3 has ruined her pillow project, traced her handprints on her comforter (BRAND new!) and painted on the door and wall.
I do not mind so much the free expression, but DD3 doesnt realize she can not free express on other peoples property.
Also....18 month old.....CONSTANTLY into everything! Had beautiful rocks and gems out for exploring. She explored them right into her mouth. Cant have magnets out for the same reason. And any books, paper, flat surface becomes her writing station.
I too would LOVE input as I believe strewing is crutial. I just seem to be failing at it.
