Mom's Museum

Well, we have had one week of Pre-K and the pictures are flooding the house.  Do feel taken over as well?  I made a gallery frame to display our "favorite" piece of artwork.  My son and I made this together.  It was a lot of fun.  I bought a piece of foamboard from the dollar store and cut it in half.  I took craft foam paper (you can use construction paper or just paint directly on it) and cut out his name and fun shapes, we used stars.  We glued the stars and his name on with a glue stick, he did that.  I also glued 2 clothes pins on with regular glue.  The clothes pins hold the displayed artwork without having to tape or glue and makes it easy to exchange pictures.  Every day Cole picks out his favorite drawing, and we display that one.  This works great to display high scoring quizzes and tests, too.  The easiest way to hang this is to use "Ticky Tack" or "Handy Tack" found at Walmart and craft stores.  Since it makes no holes, you can put yours wherever.  They are inexpensive and fun to make, you can make one for every kid to display their favorites and you won't be overloaded with pictures.  Try it.
