How do you make the displays interesting and stimulating within your setting?

• Mounting work on brightly coloured paper.
• Naming and labelling work either with bold print or children’s own hand writing.
• Making the display bold using varied textures.
• Using brightly coloured backing paper on wall mounts.
• Using themed work together in the display.
• Using different mediums such as fabric, play dough, cardboard models and everyday items as props.
