Trey, my preschooler, caught me. He opened up the trash can to throw something away and saw his precious piece of artwork. Slimy, sticky, crinkled and in the trash. He took it out, dripping with goo and handed it to me. Saying, “Why did you throw my art away”? I was crushed (so was Trey). I took that gooey piece of “art” and told him I didn’t mean to throw it away and that it was so great. It is still sitting on my kitchen table, starring at me. So… I decided I needed to start displaying his art some way. Some of his art is really great so I “file” it away. This one may not be “file” worthy but to Trey it is not worthy of the trash. I need to come up with some fun way of displaying his “art”.
Here is the beloved art from today. I don’t even know what it is but I’m sure Trey knows.
These are some ideas I came across.
The “art of the week” display.
Simple clothes pins would be cute.
This could look great in our playroom.
This may be cute in Trey’s room. He’d love it.
Or you can take pictures of all the art and hang that up too. I love this idea.
Have fun and good luck!

I loved this story. It made me smile and frown. Poor Trey… and poor you. Hope he has forgiven you and has stopped looking closer at whats in the trash.
