Upcycle kids toys and games to create great room displays for a kids room - series 2

This is a continuation to series 1 of How to create art for kids rooms and nursery. If you have not seen it you might want to see some more great ideas featured in series 1.

In series 2 I am featuring art that has been created from things kids play with. I love repurposing and upcycling and I am so excited to share these wonderful ideas with you!

Frame little doll dresses or hang them using clothespins in shadow boxes. What a great way to repurpose little barbie dresses ! Another great way would be to hang vintage doll dresses on a clothes line above the bed.

I love flash cards displayed in the nursery or a playroom. You can buy great vintage flash cards on Etsy or on Ebay.

Repurpose old games to add some color to your wall. I love how games have been used to create a window valance in pic 3! Who could have thought of that?
