I'm not sure about you other parents out there, but my house currently runneth over with artwork from the two young artists in residence. Paintings, colorings, drawings, cut out things that I can't figure out clutter the counter tops, the walls, even the shower. I haven't seen the front of the refrigerator in years. I think it's black. Last week, Jack caught me trying to sneak some of his less valuable work into the kitchen trash can. "MOMMY! Why are you throwing my pictures away," he sniveled? Boy, did I feel low. I thought about putting some of the softer pieces in the bathroom for toilet paper. Gotta recycle in today's tough economy.
In my quest for creative ideas on how to display and/or develop mass storage for these little artistic gems, I turned to the experts at HGTV.com for their suggestions. Follow the link below to see some excellent ways to let your kids know that you value their work without actually drowning in it. Some of them are really cute, like making artwork placemats, making an art calendar, etc. I'm going to get started on some of them right now, if I can find my way to the door, which is being blocked by a life sized mural of a Battle Droid, by Andrew from his Star Wars collection.
