Recently I went to Deseret Book to buy some gospel art to put on the walls of my primary classroom. The kids came with me and they were amazed to see so many different prints of art for sale. They wanted them all!
I let them spend their own money to buy a few pictures to put on their bedroom walls. It was really hard for them to decide which ones to get. These little 3X4 pictures were only about 50 cents each.
The photo above is Tertius' wall. He bought the Salt Lake Temple, the Savior with the words Come Follow Me, the Savior with a crown of thorns, and the Armor of God.
This one is Quartus' wall. He has the Salt Lake Temple, Jesus, and also a snapshot of our family when he was a baby (you can see the edge of it at the top of the picture.)
Here is the girls' room. Together they got the prophet Thomas S. Monson, Christ with a little girl, the Armor of God, a bookmark of the Armor of God, one called Behold He Cometh which is a young woman holding an oil lamp, and a bookmark of the Relief Society theme.
It was heart warming to witness their enthusiasm for decorating their rooms with art that would remind them of the Gospel and their Lord Jesus Christ!
I think maybe for Christmas I'll buy them some of the pictures that they wanted but decided to put back!
Great idea! I'm a Platinum member if you're not - not sure if that gives discounts or anything. And this Grandma always wants Christmas lists!
