Creative Kid Clutter
As a Creative Director and former designer, I love that my children love to do art. Because I’m a working mom, most of it’s done at daycare.
There is nothing better than seeing the pride my 3-year-old takes in her creations. And, even though I think it’s a bit crazy that my daycare does art with my 5-month-old, some of the pieces are adorable.
The problem: I hate clutter. And, each of my daughters is churning out 5-8 pieces of artwork per week. So, I’ve recently been combing the Internet for interesting ways to display children’s art. One idea I particularly love is from the Facebook wall of Fluff Your Stuff Interior Design. In this solution, you scan in artwork and place it into a mosaic of squares that sit in a larger frame.
The solution I ended up choosing was discovered by my mother at a great little boutique in my hometown, Joyce’s. It features multiple clips attached to a painted plank. This system allows me to easily change out artwork. For an added touch, I keep my daughter’s easel nearby with her latest “at-home” creations displayed.
