Every day your child has a new “masterpiece” to show you. And while you do see their talent improving each and every day, you’re running out of room and magnets to proudly display the art so that everyone who comes over can admire it and comment on his or her improvements.
As a parent, it’s probably one of the most difficult decisions you have to make on a weekly basis – do I dare throw away my child’s art project to make room for a new one? You know that if you do throw something away, your son or daughter is going to ask about it – sending waves of guilt throughout your body. And you could continue stuffing the projects under the bed, or piling them up in the closet, but you know that eventually those spaces won’t have room any longer.
Here are some ways you can save yourself from the guilt, and yet hang on to your children’s treasures – at least until they’re grown and can keep them in their own house or decide on their own to dispose of the projects.
* Create extra art displays. Safely hang the art with Art Show, an easy-to-install cable system that includes mounting brackets, hanging clips and line. By hanging the art, you can keep it out of the way of your household’s everyday activity. And you can rotate the work easily to show off the newest projects.
* Keep the art in an easy storage container like the Art Saver. This art portfolio can hold plenty of projects, protecting them from dust, damage and getting lost. Plus, your children can turn the container into its own piece of art, by personalizing it and adding specifics on the school year, teacher, age and more.
* Create a collage wall in your house and let your children rotate their work themselves. Consider painting it a bright color, and then safely hang children’s work with Art Tape, which won’t damage delicate surfaces.
