We had the same problem. Our now-four-year-old produced some his
best work on moldings, walls and doors. We discourage the activity
and try to maintain an ample supply of paper, but it's clear there
is something compelling about the relative permanence of artwork
on walls. 

Our solution: Try and scrub off the mess. What can't be cleaned off
will wait until we repaint the room. Needless to say, our house
is reknowned for its "juvenile mural" design approach. Maybe we
will start a new trend in interior decoration. :-)
