    To be honest this is a great idea. I do't have any kids but the remotes are still always missing.

    As others have mentioned the crayon can probably be cleaned off the computer without much trouble. So, if it was my laptop I would clean the large surfaces, but I think I would keep the keyboard as it is! The child did such a good job of coloring the keys that to me it looks like an artist's palette of watercolor paints. I find it very pretty.

    Oh wow! The child even put the laptop in two halves 😍 ! First I wondered why there is the red line on the space bar, while all other keys are nicely coloured within themselves. Then I saw the screen and that it seems to be overrun by a Creon as well. And because it's obvious there are two reds beside the touch pad.....voila =). It's six keys each side for example in the second row from the bottom. I also think it's BEAUTIFUL and so sweet and delicate, how she / he even painted the small double keys in dark blue 💕.

    I'd get the child to sign it, then I would just continue to use it. Or, I would keep it until the kid is old enough to ask for a computer, then I could present him with this one.

    As long as the screen isn't coloured, and the touchpad still works, I'd say it's an improvement

    Ok I have a serious question and I don't want to sound snotty. Why do parents let their children do this? If I hung onto a cart while my mom was trying to shop she would have picked my butt up hauled me either to the car or the nearest bathroom and swatted my butt... also...I never would have done this because my parents would have never allowed it. I'm confused as to how this happens?
