My children are always bringing home adorable artwork that they’ve made in school or here at home. I love displaying their work, but sometimes I run out of places to hang their art. Curious George to the rescue with this fun artwork-hanging vine! Silly George is always up for fun, and today he’s hanging on a vine and helping us hold (and display) our prized drawings!

Materials:
- green poster paper or green card stock paper
- some Curious George printable artwork
- wooden clothespins
- school glue
- scissors
- markers or crayons
- a green ribbon or green yarn
- two thumbtacks
Instructions
Choose the artwork from the Curious George printable pages and print out the ones your child would like to color. We used this picture of George with a Banana.- Begin coloring your artwork!
Once you have finished coloring, cut out around the outline of your art. Our favorite printable was George and the Yellow Hat, with George eating a banana. Also draw and cut out the shapes of leaves from your green card stock or poster paper.- Using school glue, glue your leaves and colored artwork onto the clothespins. Allow them to dry about 30 minutes.
- Last, cut the length of ribbon or yarn you desire and tack it to the wall, using one thumbtack for each end. Clip your George figures and leaves to the vine and then clip on your artwork.
Hooray, you’re finished, and you can now get swinging with George on your new vine!
