Here are 6 easy ways to display your kids’ artwork at home. Take your first steps from a big pile of artwork to a lovely kids’ art display.
Updated February 2025
Hanging your kids’ art is a good idea but one that can often seem daunting.
We are all looking for ways to display the stacks and stacks of art that our kids produce, right?
(We’re also looking for ways to store it and, frankly, wondering how much of it we need to keep and what we can send to the recycle bin with no hard feelings.)
Today, we’re going to share ideas for hanging kids art around your home. No need to do all six, just pick the one you like the best and go for it! More tips on how to get started at the end of this post.
Ways to Display Kids’ Artwork
1. Frames that double as storage
Use kids’ art frames like these that allow you to change out the artwork regularly to display the latest masterpieces. Bonus: They double as storage for quite a stack of art.
2. Art Display Wire
Set up an art display wire (1 wire or string plus 2 hook eye screws) and hang children’s artwork from it with clothespins.
3. Display shelves
Display a variety of kids art on a floating shelf. This is a great way to show off 3D art and sculptures!
4. Wooden magnetic hangers
Easily swap out artwork with these wooden hangers. Wooden pant hangers are another similar option that makes it super easy to rotate kids’ artwork displays.
5. DIY Art Gallery
Tape the artworks to a wall in an attractive cluster and add washi tape frames around them. Or use wall decals.
6. Corkboard + push pins
Hang a bulletin board for each child’s art and tack a few pieces up at a time within that space. This is a super easy way to swap out and hang new art.
But where to begin?
- Choose one idea you want to try.
- Decide where in your house to set up the kids art display.
- Make a list of what you need (thrift store frames? corkboard? hanging hardware?) and start to purchase these items.
- Set up your new display area.
- Choose (or have your child choose) artworks to display.
- Switch out art as desired and as your child creates more.
And don’t forget two major perks of taking time to hang your kids artwork: interesting art for the walls AND kids will see that their art is valued and feel pride in creating it.
