Decorate A Special Space For Kids

Our children are the most important part of our lives and it’s even more important that they know a nd feel that they are cherished. One way to show this is by creating a one of a kind space whether it’s a bedroom, bathrooms or play areas, inside and out, something special just for them.

Remember, they are only children for a short time so give your kids a space to call their own, a place that encourages imagination, creativity and most important fun and laughter.

Memo Boards Designed By The Kids I found this adorable memo board at Disney FamilyFun, what I thought was great about it is that your kids can design and help make the board. What a wonderful way to not only get them involved with their rooms decor but have something they can be proud of because they helped create it. This particular board is based on a sports theme but you could use any T-Shirt that fits your child’s personality. Materials Sports T-shirt, uniform jersey or any T-shirt that your kids love Craft knife Cork panels - found at local office supply stores Double-sided carpet tape Thumbtacks Instructions Choose an outgrown sports T-shirt or uniform jersey, trace its outline on a large piece of cardboard, and cut out the shape with a craft knife (parents only). Cover the entire cardboard shape with cork panels, using double-sided carpet tape to secure the cork. The cork won't fit exactly, so trim the excess with a craft knife or scissors, then use the scrap pieces and more tape to fill in the sleeves. Decide which side of the jersey you'd like to display and cut the shirt down the middle of the other side (as shown at left). Stretch the jersey taut around the cork form and use thumbtacks and more carpet tape to affix the cut opening to the back of the cardboard.   For extra fun use push pins that have been decorated with beads, buttons etc that match the theme of the shirt.
