Our own Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan was called upon for advice on appreciating your kids' artwork without becoming buried in it. Turns out less really is more, and every kid deserves their own gallery of sorts.
We agree with Maxwell that clearing out clutter makes room for new projects and inspiration. We've certainly found that to be true even in our own creative projects.
Maxwell also recommended showing off the carefully chosen works in "one 'intentional, beautiful' display space (not the fridge)."
"Choose one really nice spot that everyone can see and that has boundaries so it can't spread," he said.
Our girls often draw on extra large Post-its, specially made for kids to draw upon. We hang them neatly in line on the cupboard in our dining room.

I will definitely have to second the Da Vinci Frames (although I can't bring myself to type "L'il", much less say it). I saw them in Woman's World a while back and watched the video at Vat19.com - and I couldn't be more pleased with the set I picked up. The 8.5 x 11's are really handy. I just make sure to buy sketch pads in the same size and everything fits.
