The Art Wall

 

When my children were little, I was very concerned with their rooms being styled to my liking, but the older they've gotten, the more I've realized that I need to let them take ownership to let their personalities shine. 

Today was a special day as I let my 5-year-old tape up an entire wall with all of his art pieces (mostly coloring pages). He wanted his wall to look like an art gallery, and I have to admit, it turned out pretty neat. I love seeing his personality shine through with pictures of space, dinosaurs, construction vehicles, race-cars, and knights battling fire-breathing dragons. At some point, I would love to make his art wall a little more organized with framed pieces of his best art, but for now, this taped-up gallery that he created is perfect.

Allowing our children the space to be creative doesn't always have to be messy (although oftentimes it is). Sometimes it just takes making the time to let their little hearts try new things.
