displaying children's art

My older two children both LOVE to draw, color, paint, etc. It has been fun to see their development in this area. I encourage them to "create" by providing them with a variety of art supplies placed on a low shelf where they can reach them. We display their artwork on a "clothesline" type string hung across the dining room wall. A visiting friend once remarked how he loved to see children encouraged in such a way.

I recently stumbled upon artsonia.com - an online art museum for children's artwork. Right now, I've uploaded some of their artwork under a parent account. Not only do they provide an online art gallery for free, but also make it easy to order "stuff" with the kids artwork on it (like T-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.)

If you'd like to become a "fan" of my children's art and view their page in the museum, please email me and I'd be happy to add you.
