Beyond the Fridge Door

My favourite section of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa is a tucked away hallway, where dozens and dozens of children's drawings are hung. The Gallery often has art-making sessions for children and many are proudly taped up on the wall along with the bragging rights of "My child's artwork is hung in the National Gallery". Long before my husband and I had our own children we would wander up and down the hall admiring the artists' amusing views of the world. Sometimes we wouldn't make it into the rest of the gallery!

Today, I've rounded up some interesting ways to display and immortalize your children's artwork. Many ideas will make great gifts for the upcoming holidays. Sites like Vista Print and Zazzle can easily apply your child's artwork to mugs, mousepads, t-shirts, buttons, calendars and the list goes on. Have you done anything special with your kid's artwork?
