KidSpace Stuff blog posts on artwork for kids’ rooms, from baby to teen, any room used by kids.
Do your kids like to draw “art” on the wall? Some of mine did but not too often (thank goodness!) and it was mostly light, easy to clean stuff. When I found the photos in this post, it turned my thoughts to “what if drawing on the wall was really art instead of just scribbles?” [...]
“A smile is a language even a baby understands.” Baby photos have a way of melting the heart and bringing a smile to any viewer, even tough guys who don’t like to smile. Simply entering the baby nursery can elicit a smile of expectant pleasure. Why not make it doubly delightful by using baby [...]
“Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you can just have them plant a garden.” ~ Robert Brault ~ Nature, flowers, and gardens have a way of teaching us so many lessons as well as bringing so much cheer and happiness. Is it any wonder why so many rooms are designed around [...]
Boy….does this take me back! (The vintage paint-by-number used for the wall mural, not the baby nursery.) I remember painting a few of these kits trying to be an artist the easy way. Seeing the technique used larger than life on a wall is an awesome way to share nostalgia of the 1960’s. If you [...]

Keeping kids busy when school’s out or during holiday break can be a chore. Want to keep them busy and away from the TV? Create a home activity center! An activity center need not be costly but if you want to encourage creation and play, a few specific essentials are necessary. Work Surface and Seating [...]
I see little tables and little chairs for little people, lined stationary paper with roses in the corner, tablets of graph paper laying beside markers, colored pencils, and crayons. Busy little hands creating masterpieces for parents and grandparents. That’s what day 4 is all about. Masterpieces……and time to play with the grandkids.
