I certainly have to agree with this, Richard. Both my son and granddaughter held their first magnet fixed exhibitions on the fridge door (in fact it's still cluttered with their work!!) Regards // paul

Ann, Thanks for stopping by. Fridges with art aren't everything. I keep telling myself that. -Richard

It sounds like you may have a mini Picasso in your house! Charming and sweet-

This is SO nice and thoughtful. A wonderful tribute to a much under-appreciated artform that so many of us enjoy!! Great idea, Richard, and a FAVE for me! Thanks! Warmest wishes, Gershon

lol i don't know, the little ones always wanted it to be the magic school bus...i guess they wanted to fly away on adventures...

Sandra, Thank you for the comment. Why did I see the Partridge family bus just then? I wonder now..,did anyone else? -Richard

This one is nice because it makes me think of all the stuff still on my fridge that the grandkids did for me and their grandpa. Pictures they drew and colored. I imagine many homes have this kind of thing.

Absolutely pure and unadulterated happiness when children do this - we want to keep it forever, but time takes its toll, however the memory never fades - I have either taken photos of them or finally filed them! A very moving three line for all parents. Hugs, Jennifer.

Richard, you touched on something very emotional. How long to hold onto the children's art, till it is faded and tattered, till the child has a child, or my fav.. frame the best ones! Love this!

Dear Heart, Thank you for the comment. "How long to hold onto the children's art, till it is faded and tattered, till the child has a child?" So wonderful your comment, a truer riddle of time there never was. -Richard
