Every parent knows that there are few things scarier than a "helpful" toddler.
But fear not-there are ways to include your little one as you plan out the kids' wall art for their room (without losing yourself and your own decorating ideas in the process).
The key to pulling off perfect wall art for your child's room-and keep your sanity as you do so-is to give your pride and joy a few ways to keep them involved and entertained.
It is, after all, their room; which means that there should be plenty of their character and personality strewn throughout the space.
A little creative thinking on your part will lead to kids' wall art that you'll both adore.
For starters, consider giving your child a place to (safely) doodle on the walls.
Your local home improvement store or internet kids' décor store will carry chalkboard paint.
Try taping off a big rectangle-or even an animal shape if you're feeling adventurous-and toss on a few coats of this child friendly paint.
Once it's dry, hand over a few pieces of colored chalk, and you've got some kids' wall art that changes by the day.
Another way to let your small fry display their creativity is with some strategically placed clips or, for older children, a big cork board with oversized push pins.
This gives your child a place to display their art projects, along with pictures of themselves, their friends, and even a family pet or two.
Kids' wall art should be as laid back and friendly as kids are, and this gives them a way to have a continually rotating display to showcase their treasures.
Finally, don't forget to display some of your child's beloved possessions.
A favored teddy bear or well worn baby outfit can often be transformed with the help of a large frame or small wall shelf.
That way, your kids' wall art is not only beautiful, but comforting as well!
