Build Pride in your Kids' Work: Make an Art Wall at Home
Your kids come home from school and bring you, yet another, cute art project that they made. You love it, but you have TONS of their projects already. The question you ask yourself is, "What do I do with this one?" "Can I throw this one away and will he/she notice?" You tell your children that you love the work and then two things happen: 1) when they aren't looking you throw it away; or, 2) you put it in a drawer where it is never seen again.
Well, I have the solution for you that will allow you to appreciate what your children create and accomplish in school, and help them build pride in their work. Make an art wall with your kids' artwork and awards! It costs nothing, it is cute, AND it allows your children to see and feel good about themselves. Trust me, there is nothing more charming than kids' artwork. People who visit your home will love what they see, will comment on what your children have created/done, and will build your children's self-esteem. What is better than that? Try it and let me know what you think!
