Kids Art Display Gift for Grandparents

A kids art display is a simple, personal gift for grandparents: a slim magnetic display for their wall that holds the grandkids’ drawings, so every visit, or every envelope in the mail, adds to the gallery. It comes in four lengths and five finishes with magnets and mounting hardware in the box, and it’s made in our shop in Nacogdoches, Texas. Shipping is free.

Why grandparents love it

At most grandparents’ houses the grandkids’ art ends up on the fridge, in a drawer, or saved in a folder no one opens. A display on the wall gives it a real place. The kids walk in and see their work up, and grandparents get to swap in each new drawing as it arrives.

“Our Granddaughter gets so excited to see her art on display. Very proud!”
— Victoria S.

It works across the miles, too. Kids who live far away can mail a drawing, and it goes straight up on the wall.

“perfect for my Lolli room to hang my grandbabies art!”
— Lori

Which one to give

Look What We Made. A lettered sign that reads “Look What We Made” above matching strips for the art. It turns a spot on the wall into the grandkids’ own gallery. Shop Look What We Made →

Scalloped. A soft scalloped edge that looks like decor, for a living room or entry. Shop the scalloped display →

Modern Strips. A clean straight edge that blends into any wall. Shop the modern strips →

For a hallway or a spot by the kitchen, 23” or 35” is plenty. For a big family with lots of grandkids, go with 46”, or stack two or three for a gallery wall. Pick the finish to suit their home: black or white lets the art lead, and gold, white gold or hammered copper make the display part of the decor. Sizing details are on our kids art display page.

Easy for them to hang

Screws and drywall anchors come in the box, color-matched to the finish, and no stud is needed, so hanging one takes about 15 minutes. If they’d rather not drill, every size weighs under a pound, so adhesive picture-hanging strips work well, which is handy in a condo or a rental. Step by step: how to hang kids artwork.

“I bought the magnetic paper hanger for the playhouse. It looks very professional and the grandkids draw their pictures and love hanging them up with the magnet pins”
— Joanne

Make it a gift they’ll open twice

Start the gallery before it arrives. Tuck a drawing from each grandchild in with the gift, or a school photo and a note, so there’s something to hang on day one. To ship it straight to them, enter their address as the shipping address at checkout.

It fits plenty of occasions besides Christmas: birthdays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Grandparents Day (the first Sunday after Labor Day), or a new grandbaby.

“I ordered this as a gift for my sister to hang the art her daughter is now making.”
