What to do when your children bring home their artwork...
Hang it all up for everyone to see!
Create a multi-purpose station for home and school art.
Have an ever changing gallery.
Where else is a better place to show off their talents, but in their bedroom?

Gallery walls for their best.
It doesn't take a lot of money or time to hang up your children's artwork. Children's artwork looks good in any room of the house, hung in any way. It doesn't have to be formal frames with matching mats. Mismatched frames, frames of a single color, with or without mats, simple alligator clips or clothespins, wire, string, or colorful tape: all will work beautifully! Mix in some of their artwork with bought pieces you already have hanging or give them a whole wall! Celebrate your little artist!
The students get so excited when I hang their work outside of my classroom. I know they would love for everyone that comes to their house to see their masterpieces. My parents still have a framed painting I made in the 3rd or 2nd grade hanging in the den. Yes, my Tahitian girl has 8 fingers and her nose looks funny, but it is still a topic of conversation for visitors to this day. I love it.
