You treasure the works of art your children create, but the refrigerator can only hold so many masterpieces and your scrapbook is already too full to close. If you’re looking for other creative ways to display kids’ art, here are some fun ideas for curating your little ones’ paintings and drawings, from fun gallery walls to more unique exhibits.
Turn an entry way or hallway wall into a fun gallery wall. Using the same color of frame helps to keep things cohesive.
Empty painted frames in fun colors with a wire strung across the opening makes it a fun way for kids to clip on their favorite art.
