'Attractive' way to display kids art – Magnetic paint!
Are you so completely buried in wonderful kids art that you no longer know where to put it? Is the fridge so full, stuff keeps falling on the floor? Are drawings and posters leaving your kid's bedroom walls feeling like a pin cushion?
The solution… Magnetic Paint!
Just as fun and creative as chalkboard paint, magnetic paint can now be used on just about any surface to turn it into a 'virtural fridge door'. Use it wherever you want a place to hang artwork, photos and those important bits of paper you want to have close at hand.
The cool thing about magnetic paint is that you can paint any color latex paint over the metalic primer. The greyish primer actually contains real metal filings making the surface it's painted on magnetic. Paint it over with regular latex paint and no one will even know it's there.
Magnetic paint is a much easier and flexible option than the typical corkboard or white board and way nicer to look at. Your child can feel free to hang their art and memorablia any where they like without the mess that's left behind when they move it.
You can even use magnets as part of the decor. If your child has a garden theme you can put magnets on silk flowers, ladybugs and butterflies. For a fish themed room think, fish magnets and seashells to pull together a moveable dispay.
I think it would be fun to paint other objects with the paint as well, such as the side of a desk, a bookcase, on a room divider, or a closet door. You could also create a multipurpose wall by first painting with magnetic paint and then covering it with chalkboard paint. The idea is to get creative!

Just be careful not to wear too much metal then… You'll end up sticking to the walls!
I'll have to remember to put on my armor outside then!
