Jack has a train table with an entire trundle drawer filled with art projects made at a toddler art class and at summer camp (yep, my little man went to camp this summer and loved it!).
I can't bring myself to throw them out, but there are so many of them. I think I might have to take digital pix of all and then pick and choose which to save. If he continues to produce at this rate, our entire house will be buried by the time both boys reach grade school, lol!
My question is about displaying some of the favorite projects. We have a clip board-type thing from PB Kids that holds 3 projects (it's basically a piece of painted wood with 3 clips on it that moutns ot the wall. But I'm thinking I need something more substantial.
What do you think about stringing a clothes line (or some kind of nice cord) across a long wall over his play space in our basement? Then, I could attach projects by using some kind of cute, colored clips.
Of course, this all sounds good in concept, but I need some ideas about a.) what kind of line or cord to use, b) how to attach it to the wall in a way that wouldn't look bad, and c.) what kind of clips to use. I'll attach a picture of our play space to help you visualize.
The wall I'm thinking of isn't actually pictured. It is the wall to the right of (perpendicular to) the wall with the art table.
TIA for any help.
