By the time your child is three, he will (hopefully) begin seriously dabbling in art at home. Add to that, the mountain of artwork he will collect over the next few years from school projects, holiday crafts projects and others, and you have a logistical nightmare.

So how, and where do your display little Picasso’s masterpieces? Here are a few places to set up an impromptu art gallery.

Bulletin Board

Use a bulletin board displayed at a prominent space in the house to display artwork, and update regularly. Getting rid of old artwork (after a few months, you’ll have a sizeable collection of masterpieces that’s he’s created at home, plus dozens of school projects that his teacher will send home with him) will be impossible, so set aside an acid proof box (available at stationery stores) to store pictures once they step off their exalted status on the board.

Avoid using pins, especially if the board is low enough for a child to reach up and remove them. Use staples instead.

Wall Gallery

This isn’t every parent’s favorite way to display pictures because they can damage paint. Try using gift wrapping bows to attach pictures to the wall. They don’t damage the paint as much.

Besides, the colorful and shiny bows add a special accent to the artwork.

Or, frame the pictures and hang them on an entire section of a wall or entranceway, so every one who enters can have a look at them.

Refrigerator Gallery

Stock up on refrigerator magnets, and use them to turn your refrigerator into a gallery. This is an inexpensive and non messy way of putting artwork up, and is easy enough for your child to do it himself.

Clothesline Gallery

Hammer in a couple of nails about 6 feet apart on your child’s bedroom wall, or a passageway, and tie a clothesline to each nail. Use clothespins to hold up artwork. You can create two rows of lines, and push pictures back when they are older, using the front row for the new ones.

Door Gallery

Cover the back of your child’s bedroom door in colored paper chart paper, and staple or stick artwork on it.

Frame Gallery

Buy one of those large inexpensive poster sized box frames, and use them to hold multiple pictures. You can have more than one such frame displayed in the living room, dining area, and another in his bedroom.

If you have more than one preschooler in the house, have separate frames for each child.
