It was a lot in her room. I want to take pics of a few drawings and then just junk the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669722 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 09:05:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2669722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I know! And we have a perfect big wall for it in the playroom, but the playroom is currently full of painting supplies for other rooms... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669718 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 08:39:31 +0000 looch 2669718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I did that in my kitchen. Instead of wire, I used foamboard corkboard. It doesn't get changed that often to be honest, but I like the ease of just putting it up with a tack.</p> <p>I also hang stuff with fishing wire from the ceiling. I have a display of kites in one room and insects in another. Everyone that sees them gets a big kick out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669674 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 01:14:31 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2669674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily we don't post art but I get dozens of "pieces" a week. We are currently going through a tape and roll phase. He does functional art... He's like an impressionist, makes many versions of the same piece. 😂 He loves art though and that's super awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669671 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 00:32:57 +0000 macintosh 2669671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: omg that is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669669 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 00:15:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2669669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a dr am of doing something like this in the playroom- getting a bunch of cheap big frames secondhand and spray painting them and putting wire and clothes pins to switch out artwork. But we are no where close to that. </p> [attach=2307/16/oimh92.600x600.IMG_9998.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669517 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 17:31:08 +0000 MrsA 2669517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same setup as @fancyfunction: I used nails and some ribbon. LO loves seeing her art up on the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669477 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 16:20:11 +0000 Mama Bird 2669477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, I thought I had this under control, but one night DS decided it's a good idea to make 30 sheets of identical blue squiggles, call them important artwork, and make me put them all up. I think I'll just start quietly removing whatever falls off... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669467 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 16:01:01 +0000 Mrsbells 2669467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: i've seen people do the wire with a decal quote saying every child is an artist on one wall in their room like the picture below. Pinterest has lots of ideas. So then you can tell her she can only have as much art as fits on the wires </p> [attach=1326/16/oiludq.570x351.8fb02a68e44d3911d074eefed5bfa49d.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669438 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 15:12:37 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2669438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Ooh, that's great message, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669435 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 15:09:35 +0000 MrsSRS 2669435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cam you use some wash tape to put up some"frames" on one wall, and tell her that the other walls are going to be plain because this is her special wall and because your eyes like to rest on peaceful, plain walls sometimes, and admire her beautiful artwork sometimes, and they need to be able to do both? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669418 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:50:43 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2669418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: This is what I'm hoping to do. I tried to push her toward her room as her space and she said "but then the living room won't be as pretty" I'm raising a modest one, apparently LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669331 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 13:21:06 +0000 808love 2669331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with the clothesline and now I let her do her own frames with Washi tape. It is easier to rip. It's everywhere and I'm ok with it. We have budding artists! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669326 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 13:13:14 +0000 erinbaderin 2669326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are too young for this but my friends have each of their girls a "gallery" - they each have a cork board and they can hang whatever they want on it in as many layers as they want but they have to keep the art limited to that space. Maybe by presenting it as her special space and she can put whatever she wants on it she'll be excited to have control? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669319 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 12:59:49 +0000 Bao 2669319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh it's ALL over.

I think IKEA has them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-kids-want-to-show-off-all-the-artwork#post-2669239 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 10:51:48 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2669239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old loves to post her artwork on our walls. It started with a picture she made at a fall festival a few months ago - we tacked it onto a wall in the living room with painter's tape - and ever since then she wants to put up her art anywhere she can find an empty wall space. As a result, we now have that initial wall full of paper and she's now spreading out into her bedroom as well. I've generally rolled with it, but it's going to start getting out of control pretty soon. Anyone find any creative solutions for kids who like to show their stuff off like this? </p>
