The average child will produce more than 2,000 arts and crafts pieces for their parents before they turn 12, according to a study. And those items tell the story of their childhood through art.
Researchers found the nation’s parents face an uphill struggle to find space for the masses of drawings, greeting cards and ceramics produced by their little ones.
The overwhelming majority (79%) will display all of their kid’s creations at one time or another, with the fridge being the most popular place to exhibit them.
