There is a well-known quote from Pablo Picasso that says “Every kid is an artist”. All children are creative by nature and they need to be encouraged to show their creativity by drawing on the papers to express their thoughts, feelings and aspirations. Displaying your children’s artwork helps boosting their confidence because it shows that you value and support their work. It’s important to show off your children’s pieces of art, collage and even memorabilia in the home. By doing so, you’ll also give them a sense of ownership of the space where they are responsible for the maintenance of the area.
