subject: Make Decorating And Redecorating Easier With A Changeable Kid Frame [print this page] Children work hard on their artwork and learn many new skills as they draw with crayons, paint with watercolors and experiment with macaroni and glue. Many parents love to display masterpieces created by their child as proof of his or her developing artistic talent. However, hanging unframed and unprotected artwork on a refrigerator door or attaching it to a bedroom wall with tape allows it to become damaged. Preserving your child's artwork with a frame ensures you'll have it for years to come.
Investing in a high-quality, changeable kid frame allows you to display works of art without having to take apart a regular picture frame every time. This new type of frame relies on magnets for quick changes, along with a sheet of clear, scratch-resistant acrylic that is mounted permanently to the wall with two of the four decorative wall anchors. The 2 inch gap between the wall and the acrylic sheet gives you plenty of space to slip out a crayon family portrait and slide in a new watercolor still life. Simply add two strong magnets at each corner of the artwork---one on the outside of the acrylic sheet and one behind the art work---and the display is secured.
These changeable kid frames work well in kids' rooms and playrooms because rambunctious play won't break the protective sheet. Acrylic is very durable, 20 times stronger than glass, so it won't shatter and create a safety hazard. It's also easy to add multiple pieces of art to a large frame, or pick one that matches the typical size of your child's artwork. These frames come in a wide variety of sizes and feature no ornamentation that could clash with the existing decor of a room. If the brushed silver finish of the wall mounts doesn't work with your decor, try painting them with a complementary color of your choice.
Magnet-based frames were first developed for use with kids' artwork due to the constant influx of new pieces from art class or afternoon drawing sessions. However, they work for other types of art as well, including high-quality fine art prints from your favorite photographers and illustrators. The magnets won't damage the print or leave marks on the paper, and heavier materials like fabric can hang in the frame due to the strength of the magnets. With a few extra magnets, you can even create a collage of family photos that changes with each season. Why get stuck with the same framed prints all year long when a changeable kid frame lets you redecorate as often as you like?
