I have a little collection of pictures they made by now and unfortunately live in a house with crap walls where every little nail will have chunks of plaster the size of your fist come off.. blu tack reportedly leaves marks and sticky tape strips the paint of the walls!

what can I use??!!

Stick them on the fridge, windows, woodwork.

Buy some frames from ikea and put them on your walls.

get a couple of fridge magnets and put one or two on the fridge. replace as they bring new ones home and recycle the replaced ones. .

I've got a sort of washing line strung up along my kitchen wall & have pegged pictures & photos up

You could also make a scrap book of their work. My ds has kept some pictures in a folder and loves looking back at them.

you can buy magnetic paint - paint a whole wall with it - then you can paint normal paint over the top/or not - voila massive display area for the kids art

I like the scrap bk idea. Am thinking it could follow on after the washing line...

I once went to someones house and they had one of those cork notice boards but it was huge.
They'd pinned their childrens pictures to it and just propped it up agaisnt the wall.

It looked really good.

I've got one of these and love it. Perfect for 3D pictures. The business was started by a mum who was looking for something for her little boy's pictures and her husband designed these frames.
