    Help me fill this large blank wall

    I have this large wall that's struggle filling up. I have a ton of ABC and number cards that I could hang up and have a large monthly calendar/weather chart to hang up too. I'm just not sure how to put it all together.

    Should I put all the alphabet up and all the numbers up or just add to the ones we are learning?

      I don't do calendar or alphabet or numbers- so this is a little different than what you might want...

      If it were me, (depending on what you already have every where else! Maybe you have all this) I would put up real pictures of all different types of families and children including all skin colors, children with disabilities doing activities with others, elderly doing things with kids, people playing instruments, etc. It's nice to expose the kids to all different types of people and they feel more welcomed and welcoming when they see all of these different people being accepted.

      I would possibly use frames so that I could easily switch everything out whenever I want (instead of making a lot of holes with posters). Though I may just use Sticky Tak or something instead of hammering a nail in for a frame.

      I would maybe make a permanent area where I could put up the kid's art work down below where they can see at eye level and have it where the art work can easily be switched out often- so perhaps one of those strings with clothespins stretching across the wall. Also, I would make a little collage of each child's family so they can see all their family when they want to go look (including their own picture) and those can be put together on a piece of cardboard and then stick a piece of velcro on the back. Then place the velcro strips all in a neat row along the bottom (ish) of the wall so kids can take them off and hold them if wanted... haha lots of stuff could cram into that wall! Just some ideas.

        Framed kid art or giant cork board would be the way I'd go!

          Another option is a family tree.

              I didn't have things like that on the wall because I wanted a more homey home away from home look rather than a classroom look but I always loved those peel and stick removable wall decals. There are so many cool ones. I got some of them at the dollar store and put them over the changing table and in the bedroom. They come off easily even after being up a long time.

              If you want the classroom look, I think these are adorable and only $11.99. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Animal.../dp/B004WPKWNO

              There are so many other cute ones that would look good on a big wall.

              P.S. I didn't buy this specific brand. Some of the reviews on these particular ones say they weren't sticky enough but they got good overall reviews so be cautious. The kind I had always stayed up fine.
