How To Display Kids Artwork In Your Home
Are your kids constantly bringing home loads of artwork and evidence of other creative endeavours from playgroup, day care or school?
Gosh, mine did! Especially in the early years of child care and schooling. I easily amassed huge folders of kids artwork until I realised that it was ok to let go of most of it. Hello recycling bin!
It's true that participating in art and craft activities is beneficial for your kids' emotional, social and physical development.
- It helps them develop their imagination and self-expression.
- It teaches them life skills such as problem solving and fine motor skills.
Yet while you want to be supportive of your kids' creativity, you need a way to display their artwork with out it becoming clutter.
So here's 15 simple ways to display kids artwork and reclaim back your fridge door. Hallelujah!
1. Curtain Wire Art Display
Try this Ikea curtain wire hack with metal clips.

2. Hanging Kids Art
Don't have an Ikea close to where you live? This has to be the easiest way to display kids artwork in your home. All you need is a couple of screws to attach to the wall, some string and clothes pegs. Easy peasy!

3. Hanging Up Kids Artwork – Renter's Option
But oh snap, you are renting! Well here is how you can create a wall artwork displaythat doesn't require any holes to be drilled in the wall.
All you need is some Command hooks, picture wire and a spot to rig it up. If you are still concerned about your walls, you could even attach it to the side of a wardrobe or cupboard or on the back of a door.

4. Upcycled Kid Artwork Frames
This is DIY version of using frames to display kids artwork. Even better if you can source them second hand or re-use ones you already have. Spray paint your frames in a bright funky colour like the canary yellow below, or a pale pastel pink or blue if you prefer.
Attach a piece of string or wire across the width of the frame. Then use a few mini pegs to hold the art so it can be swapped in and out easily. Then just hang up your frames and you are sweet to go!

5. New Frames For Kids Art
For a more formal and clean look, buy a set of the same type of picture frames only in different sizes.
This would work best when you know what specific artwork you want to display on the wall. Or if you don't intend on changing the pictures out frequently.

6. Digital Artwork Collage
This idea takes a bit more time initially but it a great way to display kids artwork long term. Create a collage from their favourite or best drawings, scan each one, print it out and frame it.
You then have just one piece of artwork to display and are not required to keep the large quantity of originals.
