We received a request for information linked to wall displays within kindergartens and nurseries. It really got us thinking as we prepared the Curriculum Guide for our client. Here are a few of the answers below.

Tips for Creating Good Displays
When creating your displays you can:
Aim for individual creations (image above)

Name and date all work
If children can write their names, let them label their own work!
When structuring displays, avoid over-stimulation
