• picture of each child's face

What You Do:

• Displaying children's art is very important in preschool classrooms.
• At the beginning of the school year we make an art "frame" for each child from construction paper.
• We cut out the middle of a large sheet about 1" from the edge all the way around.
• We laminate it and attach it with hot glue on three sides to a second uncut sheet. These are stapled to the bulletin board.
• When a child completes a project we slip it into the open edge of his "frame".
• Because children this age cannot always read the names,we identify each frame with a small cutout of a mouse.
• We cut out the face of the mouse and replace it with a picture of the child's face.
• We glue this mouse to the child's art frame.
• This bulletin board stays up all year, but changes as the children design new art work.
