The benefits of displaying children's artwork

Many parents hang their child’s artwork on the refrigerator, in their office, and around the home. Plus, kids love to know that their parents are hanging up their artwork. While hanging up your child’s artwork might seem like a natural thing to do, did you know there are actually benefits of doing so? In this article, we’re going to explore a few reasons why it’s beneficial to display your children’s artwork.

1. Keeps You Engaged

When you hang your child’s artwork, you are more likely to take notice of exactly what they're doing. You’ll notice their brushstrokes, their favourite colours, and their improvements. You’ll get to tap into your child’s imagination and what interests him or her. One of the benefits of displaying your children’s artwork is that you’ll stay engaged in your child’s creativity and improvement.

2. Shows Support

When you display your child’s artwork, you’re showing your child support. This is a great way to boost confidence and self-esteem. Your child can walk into your home or office and know that he or she has your support, and they’ll feel a sense of pride in knowing that their artwork adorns your space.

3. Identifies Them

One of the benefits of displaying your children’s artwork is to help them see their own creativity in a new light. When they walk into the room, they’ll be able to point and say, “That’s my artwork!”. Your child will be proud that they’ve created something that you feel is beautiful and worthy of displaying, and they’ll also be excited to show others their artwork.

4. Encourages a Love For Art

One of the best benefits of displaying your children’s artwork is that it encourages a love for art. If you enjoy art or want your child to have an appreciation for art, then one of the best ways to educate your child on art is to start early. Of course, there’s no better way to encourage a love for art than to put their artwork on display for others to see. Growing up in a household that loves art can lead to a lifetime of art appreciation!

5. Documents Their Work

Your child will create many amazing things in their lifetime, and these early artworks are things that you’ll likely want to keep. When you frame their best work, you are helping to preserve your child’s artwork for a long time to come.

6. Makes Memories

Yes, one of the benefits of displaying your child’s artwork is the memories made! Your child will grow up with fond memories of having had his or her artwork displayed throughout your home and office, and those are precious memories, indeed!

You can display your child’s artwork across an entire wall or just on the refrigerator, but no matter how you do it, the simple act of presenting your child’s artwork is a big deal with lifelong benefits! Your child will grow up with a passion for art and fond memories of having his or her art presented, plus your child will know they’ve always had your support.
