9-Year-Old Who Got In Trouble In Class For Doodling, Gets Hired By A Restaurant To Decorate Their Walls

Akanksha Bhatia

We often hold back children from doodling on walls and drawing in class. But what happens when you channel their creative energy in the right direction instead? Joe Whale, a 9-year-old has knack for adorable doodles and when he got into trouble for doodling in class, his parents put him into an after-school art class. This was all the push this talented young boy needed! 

Joe doodled the walls of ‘Number 4,’ a restaurant in Shrewsbury, which took 12 hours. And he even has a cute nickname, Doodleboy! Joe’s father, Greg told Bored Panda that it’s all about supporting your children. 

I would advise parents to encourage their children to always follow their passion and dreams — research local workshops or groups within your local community.

We’re loving this 9-year-old’s Instagram account! Joe’s truly a gifted artist.
