Sarah0000 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Any ideas for how to record and display work and information that's more visible and changeable than a notebook but isn't as big or permanent as a bulletin board? The idea would be for kids to display their work such as coloring pictures and for me to post picture book covers or art pictures for unit studies. I do have a pocket chart for smaller papers. I've thought of using a large trifold display with pockets and binder clips but I do have a one year old who would fiddle with it. Any other ideas?

Kiara.I Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 String ribbon/twine/whatever across a wall and use clothespins. Depending on how you attach the strings it could be taken down in some seasons and put back in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I went to a large bulletin board as part of home decor a few years ago, displaying our current studies, pictures, maps, or posters. But I also have and do use that tacky stuff to just put posters and things in the wall. It makes almost anything but the heaviest of posters stick and doesn't damage the walls.

CTVKath Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) UHU Tac adhesive putty? This is what I used to put my 9yo DD's Veritas Press cards on the hall wall as she finished each week. My parents also use it at their house to display the grandkids artwork. And it's the only thing my church will allow us to use on the walls for VBS decorations. It holds papers really well. It does not do as well with heavier things like canvas on cardboard. https://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Removable-Reusable-Nontoxic-pieces/dp/B013FA72M0/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=u+tac&qid=1554078076&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spell Edited to add: I almost forgot - I use this putty for putting up our weekly "picture study" art in the bathrooms. It's on tile in 2 bathrooms and on a wood door in the basement bathroom. I'm using it on the top 2 corners and I've used and re-used the same pieces of putty since last September.

Sarah0000 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 I use the wax for posters and art cards too. It does work but it's a little tedious to rearrange things frequently and I'm looking more for a fun display the kids can easily add to. I could string a clothesline, glue binder clips and pockets, and use some wax on a large board then hang the whole thing on the wall away from baby. Then I can easily take it down for the kids to change frequently. I'll do a trial run with cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 We have this Ikea system of wire/clips/posts and it works pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Tri-fold display board set up on a table or counter top out of reach of toddler hands. And for adhering items, either flat headed thumb tacks, or little loops of tape for on the back of the items to be displayed? The great thing about a tri-fold display board is that it can be moved around easily to put it out of reach of a little one, or be folded up and slid behind a door or couch during non-school hours. ETA -- oops -- never mind. I see you discarded the idea of a trip-fold display board in your original post. ::embarrassed:: ETA #2 -- Maybe set up a smaller board just for the 1yo, with things on it for fiddling with, so 1yo wouldn't feel so drawn to fiddle with the older kids' board? Pockets, clips/clothespins, button/snaps, laminated cards on a metal loose leaf binder ring? shoelaces and lacing card...?? Edited April 2, 2019 by Lori D.

maize Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 How about a small portable cork/bulletin board? I have one that is about 2'x3'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I second a cork board. Or white boards are usually magnetic. At one point, I had little frames where I could just pull out the art and stick in new art. Those were nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah0000 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yes a cork board is exactly what I need but it's impossible to keep push pins off the floor away from the toddler. I try with brads and there's always a few loose ones that get scattered. I do have small and medium magnetic whiteboards. I might be able to hang a couple magnetic boards along with the pocket chart to have a larger display area. I don't really have any flat surfaces that the toddler can't climb to so it has to be something I can put on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah0000 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Whatever I do I like the idea of having a separate something for the toddler and each kid actually. A small display board for each kid around the main, joint display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have one frame per kid that gets changed at will and a memory box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
