What to Do with Kids Artwork
Once your art space is buzzing with activity, you'll inevitably face the question of what to do with all those masterpieces. I have some tips to help keep everything organised and as stress free as possible
Drying Space:
If your art involves wet materials, consider using a shoe rack, cooling rack, or even a tray on the ground for drying. Just make sure your little ones understand the rules to avoid unexpected gluey surprises!
Holding Zone:
Designate a space for finished artwork that won't be immediately displayed. A paper organizing tray or a cardboard box works wonders. When it's full, sort through its contents with your little artist.
Kids Art Display Ideas:
Encourage your kids to display their creations proudly. Whether it's on the fridge, a bulletin board, or a kid-accessible art gallery with twine and clothespins, make it easy for them to showcase their work and change it up often.
The Leftovers:
An active art space generates scraps and bits. Teach your kids the art of reuse – create collages with paper scraps, yarn pieces, and unwanted artwork. Have a bin for reusable materials, recycle what you can, and dispose of the rest in a nearby trash can.
There you have it – a recipe for a thriving, organised, and ever-inspiring art space for your little Picassos. Embrace the mess, nurture the creativity, and let the journey of self expression begin!
