I eventually bought 2 frames and once a month each girl picked one piece of art, which I displayed for that month (before filing it away for posterity). They loved seeing it displayed like "real" art (which, of course, it was!)

Mac came across some of his stuff when we moved two years ago, and he enjoyed sorting through it. He was never an artist (well he is with words), but even his stick figure cartoons drawn in middle school were cracking him up.

Great idea! Those little artists are prolific!

We just recently invested in some double stick tape and started sticked stuff on the sliding glass door. Lol. Even now I'm looking at it with such pride my heart is bursting! I'm glad we did it. They come home with an insane amount of art from preschool too.. hopefully we have enough window space or we may have to expand to the surrounding walls! hehe
