Every parent looks for a great new toy to add to their child's collection. In the past, the main focus of the play world was to get something the child enjoys playing with and is durable. However, play items made from different artificial materials have led to varying health concerns, and most parents are dialling back on natural materials. Consequently, wooden figures have gained popularity because they are healthy and safe and inspire children's creativity.
Finding a cool print or photograph is not difficult today, thanks to the internet. However, the most daunting part is finding the right picture frame. Although generic options are more affordable, they only come in the most basic dimensions. Conversely, custom frames attract a higher price, but they are worth every penny. That said, choosing a custom picture frame requires a careful approach to get value for money. This article highlights top considerations when selecting a custom frame for your artwork.
Custom picture framing allows you to create exactly the combination of frame and image that complements your home. It also allows you to depart from some of the traditional expectations of picture framing. Here are a few inventive ways to use custom framing to create impressive effects.
Contrasting frames
Traditionally, a picture's frame should subtly complement it, accenting the visual style of the painting or photograph. However, some interior designers like to draw the eye toward images by using frames that contrast with the image in some way.
The benefits of wooden toys for children in their early years are endless. Alongside their durability and ability to withstand years of play with dozens of children, wooden toys are also free from the distracting light and sound effects of many plastic toys. This ensures children can focus on the educational, imaginative and interactive uses of the toy during teaching.
One great time to use wooden toys is when you're teaching children the pre-numeracy skills that will help them become competent mathematicians in their school years.
