A Washi Tape & Preschool Art Gallery Wall

Ever since we switched preschools there’s been a significant uptick in the “documentation” coming home each week. If my kid places so much as a swipe of paint anywhere, her teachers slap her name on it and in the cubby it goes. Don’t get me wrong: I appreciate her school’s commitment to sharing with parents, but I am literally *drowning* in toddler masterpieces. Creating a coffee table book compilation of my children’s artwork has always seemed like an elegant solution, but I needed a more immediate fix.

Enter the unremarkable blank wall in my kitchen which is scheduled to remain until our remodel plan comes together. {Shudder.} So I took some navy-and-white stripe washi tape and covered that boring old wall with my daughter’s body of work. It’s not the most polished thing I’ve ever pulled together, but this instant gallery wall solved two problems with a single roll of washi tape. And come on, even the coldest-hearted among us would have to admit that it’s damn adorable.
