\nWhen it comes to ranking the best baseball stadiums, tradition only goes so far. Pristine grass, clear sightlines, and the crunch of peanut shells underfoot—modern fans desire all these, yes, but they also desire giant Coke bottles to slide down and restaurants built on top of their stadiums. Then there's the team. Watching your home squad struggle isn't much fun and can put a damper on even the most beautiful days at a great ballpark.
\nWith all this in mind, we've devised a system that rates five ballpark factors—history, views, the team, stadium snacks, and wildcard—on a scale of 1 to 10 to spit out a composite ballpark score. The result? The 10 best baseball stadiums in 2017.
\n10. Safeco Field | Seattle Mariners
\nHistory: 3—Safeco was built and branded as a modern park, complete with a unique umbrella-style roof that shields the field from inclement weather without closing the dome entirely. However, there's not much nostalgia here.
\nTeam: 7—The M's are being picked by some as an underdog to watch in 2017, and with an offense with Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz, and Kyle Seager, it's easy to see why.
\nViews: 6—Being a modern stadium, Safeco offers good sightlines and a decent view of Seattle. Since it's such a big ballpark, though, it can make the field seem a little distant depending on where you sit.
\nStadium Snacks: 7—Safeco is routinely regarded as having some of the most unique and best ballpark food. Fans can snack on everything from sushi to pizza to build-your-own ice-cream sandwiches.
\nWildcard: 7—You wouldn't expect to find works of art in a baseball stadium, but you're sure to run into them here. The team's Art in the Park program stocks the concourses with baseball-themed statues, murals, and other works from local artists.
\nTotal: 30/50
\n9. SunTrust Park | Atlanta Braves
\nHistory: 4—This park just opened its doors this season; you can't have history without a past! The park's Monument Garden, with hundreds of pieces of Braves-themed art, gives a nice nod to the franchise's history, though.
\nTeam: 4—Few expect the Braves to make much noise this season, but upstart infielder Dansby Swanson and baseball cult hero Bartolo Colon will still provide some highlights for fans in Atlanta.
\nViews: 8—The stadium is about 9,000 seats smaller than its predecessor, Turner Field, giving each of its seats a closer view of the action.
\nStadium Snacks: 7—The park offers Terrapin Beer Co.'s Chopsecutioner Ale, a beer aged on wood from real Mizuno baseball bats. Is it a little gimmicky? Sure. But is it still cool? You bet.
\nWildcard: 8—SunTrust Park's right-field roof isn't a roof. It's packed with cabanas that give fans plenty to do during the game: play ping pong and foosball, socialize on patios, or grab some food at a Waffle House. Yes, there's a Waffle House up there, too.
\nTotal: 31/50
\n8. Target Field | Minnesota Twins
\nHistory: 4—Target Field is one of the newest parks in baseball, but the team's history can be seen if you look close enough. The stadium's home plate is the same one that was used in the team's former stadium, the Metrodome.
\nTeam: 6—The Twins sit in the middle of the pack as far as contenders go this season, but second baseman Brian Dozier is a constant home-run threat. He popped 42 of them last season.
\nViews: 8—One of the most compact stadiums in the league, Target Field gives fans close-up views of the action and a picturesque backdrop of Minneapolis's skyline.
\nStadium Snacks: 8—Celebrity chef and native son Andrew Zimmern's Canteen offers unique spins on classics, such as the Sloppy Ko, a kimchi version of a sloppy joe. Fans can also find Upper Midwest staples, including cheese curds and a Mexican version of Minnesota hot dish.
\nWildcard: 7—When nasty Minnesotan weather rears its head, there's an open bonfire on the Budweiser Roof Deck in right field. During picture-perfect Minnesota summer days, though, the stadium sits right beside a bike trail, making it easy to pedal to a game.
\nTotal: 33/50
\n7. Progressive Field | Cleveland Indians
\nHistory: 5—It's seen its share of heartbreak (sorry, Cleveland), but Progressive Field, formerly Jacobs Field, was also home to the '90s Indians, one of the most exciting baseball teams of the last few decades.
\nTeam: 8—The Indians made a surprise run all the way to Game 7 of last year's World Series (again, sorry, Cleveland), and they bring back almost the entire roster in 2017. Watch for stud shortstop Francisco Lindor, slugger Edwin Encarnacion, and shutdown reliever Andrew Miller.
\nViews: 7—The stadium has recently undergone multiple renovations that have eliminated seating and made the vibe a little more intimate. And no matter where you sit, you're treated to a nice view of Cleveland's skyline and Quicken Loans Arena, home of LeBron and the Cavs.
\nStadium Snacks: 8—The park's Right Field District is home to stands from locally beloved restaurants from the city's neighborhoods. Grab a taco from Barrio, a pierogi sandwich from Melt Bar and Grilled, or a Red Drum Rally Ale from Great Lakes Brewing Co.
\nWildcard: 6—If you're at a Tribe game and you're eating a hot dog, look for Bertman's ballpark mustard. It's a locally made treasure, and it's delicious.
\nTotal: 34/50
\n6. Petco Park | San Diego Padres
\nHistory: 6—The 100-year-old Western Metal Supply Co.'s building was not only spared during the park's construction, but also incorporated into the stadium's design.
\nTeam: 3—The Padres aren't expected to compete for a title this year, but young stars Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe should give fans something to be hopeful for in the future.
\nViews: 8—Petco Park gives a nice, open view of San Diego's skyline, which looks gorgeous bathed in the city's near-constant sunshine.
\nStadium Snacks: 9—Bars for brewers Ballast Point, Stone, AleSmith, and others reflect the region's concentration of outstanding craft breweries. New for 2017 is a station for Wonderland Ocean Pub, a casual local seafood spot that sits just feet from the Pacific Ocean.
\nWildcard: 10—A huge part of going to a baseball game is just being outside, and thanks to San Diego's perfect weather, it doesn't get better anywhere else.
\nTotal: 36/50
\n5. Busch Stadium | St. Louis Cardinals
\nHistory: 7—Though it's only been around for 11 years, Busch Stadium—the third one the Cardinals have called home—has already packed in more history than other older ballparks. The Cardinals were the first team in almost a century to open a new park and be crowned world champions in that park later that season.
\nTeam: 7—Though they're not projected to catch the rival Cubs in their division this year, the team is almost always competitive enough to make a postseason push.
\nViews: 9—Packed into downtown, the stadium gives fans a postcard-worthy backdrop of the skyline sitting under the city's famous arch.
\nStadium Snacks: 7—You'll never see the same food twice at Busch Stadium. That's because, under stadium policy, fans are allowed to bring in outside food and beverages (water and soda) in soft-sided coolers. If you're looking for ballpark food, though, head to the Double Play Tap and Grill, where you can get a burger stuffed with mac 'n' cheese.
\nWildcard: 7—Busch-II-Infield, a plot outside the actual stadium where the old park's infield sat, hosts game-watch parties, live entertainment, and even yoga classes.
\nTotal: 37/50
\n4. PNC Park | Pittsburgh Pirates
\nHistory: 6—The stadium's limestone facade, numerous archways, and pilasters tiled with terracotta serve as subtle nods to Three Rivers Stadium, the team's former home.
\nTeam: 7—Five-time All-Star and former league MVP Andrew McCutchen is reason enough to get to a game.
\nViews: 10—Pittsburgh's gleaming skyline and the bright-yellow Roberto Clemente Bridge dominate perhaps the best view in baseball, making it hard to focus on the action on the field.
\nStadium Snacks: 8—Primanti Bros. slings the city's iconic fries-slaw-meat sandwiches behind section 110. If you somehow still have room and are feeling bold, try to take down the Polish Hill dog's arsenal of pierogi, pulled pork, coleslaw, onion rings, and barbecue sauce.
\nWildcard: 7—If you're lucky enough to be at a game—or maybe kayaking—when a particularly long homer is launched toward right field, you might see the ball splash down into the Allegheny River.
\nTotal: 38/50
\n3. Fenway Park | Boston Red Sox
\nHistory: 10—At 105 years old, Fenway is the oldest park in Major League Baseball. From Fisk waving his 1975 homer fair to countless battles with the hated Yankees to the Sox finally winning a title on their home turf in 2013, Fenway's seen it all.
\nTeam: 9—The Red Sox are expected to be one of the best teams in baseball in 2017, with a loaded rotation led by Rick Porcello and Chris Sale.
\nViews: 5—Fenway's charm comes with a price. Not all seats offer great views of the action, and some even force fans to crane their necks nearly 90 degrees just to face home plate.
\nStadium Snacks: 6—To go with one of the ubiquitous, old-school Fenway Frank hot dogs, Sox fans can make their own salads with produce grown on Fenway's rooftop garden.
\nWildcard: 10—With the Green Monster, the Triangle in center field, and just the sheer oddity of the way the park looks, this score couldn't be anything other than a 10. It all makes it one of the best baseball stadiums there'll ever be.
\nTotal: 40/50
\n2. Wrigley Field | Chicago Cubs
\nHistory: 10—You can smell the nostalgia inside Wrigley's vine-covered walls. Or is that the unmistakable scent of Old Style and hot dogs? Either way, this iconic cathedral of baseball has been hosting games for more than 100 years. Doesn't get much more historic than that.
\nTeam: 10—The world champion Cubs (still sounds weird, doesn't it?) trot out one of the most stacked lineups in the bigs this year. It features sluggers Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, flashy shortstop Addison Russell, and star pitchers Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta.
\nViews: 6—Mezzanines can have their sightlines impeded by the upper deck, and random seats are blocked by pillars. Wrigley does get a bonus point for the famous rooftop seats across the street.
\nStadium Snacks: 8—Joining the Chicago staples of Italian beef and deep-dish pizza for 2017 are some needed new options, such as pork bao buns and sugar-coated bacon bites from Pork & Mindy's restaurant, a local favorite.
\nWildcard: 9—From the neighborhood atmosphere, to the old-school marquee and scoreboard, to the celebrity-conducted 7th-inning stretch, there's nothing quite like a game at Wrigley.
\nTotal: 43/50
\n1. AT&T Park | San Francisco Giants
\nHistory: 7—The park opened in 2000, so you won't get the rich history of Wrigley or Fenway. All-time MLB home-run leader Barry Bonds did send the record-breaking shot into the park's center-field stands back in 2007, though.
\nTeam: 8—The Giants are routinely competitive or outstanding and have won three championships in the past seven years. Catcher Buster Posey and ace pitcher Madison Bumgarner are fan-favorite stars.
\nViews: 10—The best MLB stadiums need a perfect view, and AT&T Park delivers. No matter where you sit, you'll get a pristine view of the diamond, panoramas of the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge, or both. That's tough to top.
\nStadium Snacks: 10—Fans in San Fran are treated to seemingly endless food options that go far beyond the basics of hot dogs and peanuts. Dungeness-crab sourdough sandwiches, Caribbean-inspired burrito bowls, and Sicilian deep-dish pizza are just a few options.
\nWildcard: 10—Behind the left-field bleachers, fans can check out the world's largest baseball glove and slide down a giant Coke bottle. You don't even need to be in the park to experience game action: kayakers frequently make highlights by snagging home-run balls hit into the waters of McCovey Cove just past the right-field fence.
\nTotal: 45/50

\nWhen summer arrives, little ones suddenly have nothing to do but hang around at home—which means parents suddenly have nothing to do but think of things to do with kids. And one hot-weather ritual that helps drain their boundless energy is a day at the amusement park.
\nUnfortunately, planning for a day at the amusement park can just as efficiently drain parents' energy. To help put some amusement back into it, we turned to two employees of a certain well-known theme park: Isabel, who drives the parking-lot bus, and RJ, a theme-park performer and one-time cohost of the amusement-centric Disfunction Podcast. Based on their combined years in the trenches, they let us know what works and what doesn't.
\nGo at non-peak hours.
\n\"The first hour is the best time to get on that one ride you just have to go on,\" says Isabel. For parents of older kids who can stay up late, RJ recommends returning to the park a few hours before they close. \"[Most] families have given up and already retreated to their resorts.\"
\nMake it easy to find your car.
\nTake photos of its location, nearby signs, and the view from behind you (as if you're leaving the park).
\nOne of RJ's past park gigs was in the parking lot, and at every shuttle stop, he was required to repeat the section number over and over \"and over.\" Now he tells people, \"Write it on your favorite child's forehead [if you have to].\" All joking aside, charging the kids with remembering where the car is can help settle those end-of-the-day arguments over whether you parked in A12 or A13.
\nLoad up a backpack with supplies.
\nRJ's packing list of just the essentials includes the following: a refillable water bottle for each person, sunscreen, bug spray, and a travel-size umbrella. Other additions might be extra clothing (including shoes and socks), towels, ponchos, sanitizing wipes, and plastic baggies to protect valuables. \"And motion-sickness bags,\" smirks Isabel.
\nHave a food plan going in.
\nSome families bring their lunch and keep it in a cooler in the car. The pros are clear: you save money, avoid fatty park food, and have a built-in break in your day to cool off in the A/C.
\nHowever, at larger amusement parks this may take more time than it's worth. RJ advises people to research what's available at the park before you go; there are often healthier options than you might think. An alternative: pack snacks. That way, he says, \"you have something to nibble on while you wait in line.\"
\nDecide: wagon or stroller?
\nWagons have their advantages. With more space, you can fit more kids or even let one child lie down.
\nBut they can also create issues of their own. Says RJ, \"If you know you're gonna bring in a double-wide or a wheelbarrow to the parks, be mindful that you are going to a place where there will be hundreds, maybe thousands, of people around you [and] you're taking up a lot of room.\" Patience and extra awareness is key.
\nAnd Isabel cautions families to call ahead: \"Certain parks do not allow wagons as they are a trip[ping] hazard.\"
\nGive your kids a say.
\nWhen it comes to the rides, says RJ, let your kids take the reins. \"Don't feel pressured into doing something that you were told you must do if it's not what your kids want to do.\" If your eight-year-old wants to watch the show at the toddler park, that's cool. \"And if little Charlie wants to do the carousel again and again and again, then by all means do let him. The memory of Charlie crying in the car-ride home could ruin all the other memories you made that day.\" You can even let them hold the map and lead the way.
\nOf course, providing some direction is helpful. \"When my kids were small,\" says Isabel, \"I kept them on their schedules.\" So try to fit a nap in when you can, even if it means taking a break and heading back to the resort or car.
\nAmusement-park employees tell us six ways to stay sane.

\n\n \n \n \n Do you remember how good it felt, as a child, to create something with your own two hands? How proud you were when mom or dad displayed it on the fridge? Given the recent surge in arts and crafts as hobbies for grown-ups—surely you know people who’ve taken up knitting, ceramics, or adult coloring books—these are feelings we all long for.
\nAnd we also adore passing those experiences on to our own children, whether by enrolling them in art lessons for kids or by encouraging their creativity at home with boxes full of art supplies. It’s fun to see the rudimentary family portraits or fantastical creatures your kids think up, but between school, extracurricular activities, and living-room doodling sessions, your refrigerator can’t possibly keep up with the output.
\nHow do you praise these creations and preserve them as keepsakes without turning your home into an all-out kids’ art studio? Well, we’ve got a few ideas for how to spotlight their work without wallpapering your entire place with finger paintings.
\n1. Choose one spot to turn into a gallery wall
\nTo avoid a total decor takeover, relegate the kindergarten art projects you’ve accumulated to a single area of wall space. The gallery wall, already a grown-up design trend, eschews traditional standards for hanging art throughout the home in favor of using your collection to create a single focal point. It’s a design element that relies heavily on curation and placement. Have your child select their favorites, or make your own choices based on a theme or color. Then, choose a place in your home for the gallery wall—we recommend visualizing it around a piece of furniture, a staircase, or a mantel—and map it out, keeping things like size, frame style, and white space in mind.
\nPro-tips:
\n- \n
- Think about where you want to draw eyes. By definition, a gallery wall tends to be a room’s centerpiece. If you’re playing it safe, use one to display your child's work in their bedroom or playroom. If you’re going bold, try the entryway or dining room. \n
- \n
- Make it look professional. No securing the artwork with magnets or tacks like you would elsewhere—this requires some planning. First, frame the artwork, either using the same type for each or adding extra visual interest by using multiple frame styles. Then, figure out how you’d like to arrange the pieces by making scrap-paper facsimiles that you can tape to the wall to try out different placements. Ideally, they’ll be roughly at eye level and spaced a couple of inches apart. Once you find an arrangement to your liking, pencil in some guide markings and get to hammering. The hung pieces will eventually look as pretty as a picture. \n
- \n
- Keep it fresh. Swap out the artwork by season, by month, or whenever your child completes a new course of art lessons. You could re-mat and re-frame the pieces every time, but we recommend looking into print-hanging frames, which sandwich the artwork between wooden brackets. They can be fitted to pieces of many different sizes. \n
2. Help them fill a portfolio like a real artist
\nArt students transport their work to and from class in large, durable portfolios with handles and shoulder straps. Working artists, meanwhile, advertise themselves as candidates by submitting smaller portfolios that present their best work. If your child loves their art lessons or shows distinct creative tendencies at home, discuss art-related fields with them and work together to create an artist’s portfolio.
\nPro-tips:
\n- \n
- Choose wisely. Your average accordion folder from an office-supply store will be too small or flimsy to store the unwieldy multimedia pieces that art lessons for kids are fond of inspiring. On the other hand, you don’t need to drop the big bucks for a professional artist’s portfolio. We recommend an expandable plastic case—at least larger than 8”x10” —that can be tucked away in a closet or drawer. \n
- \n
- Revisit it often. Grown-up artists constantly evaluate the work they include in their professional portfolios. Encourage your child to choose which pieces best represent their interests or skills; banish the rest to a digital archive or the recycling bin. If your child is still interested in art as they age, have them take a look at their old work—perhaps their younger self’s imagination will inspire new art ideas. \n
3. Create a digital archive
\nOf course, even a plastic portfolio can’t guarantee the protection of art against basement floods, mold, creepy crawlies, and destructive younger siblings. The Internet, however, is forever. Archive your child’s artwork in a digital format and teach them to be computer-literate at the same time.
\nPro-tips:
\n- \n
- Decide on your purpose. If you’re in search of safe storage, scan the 2D pieces and save them to a folder on your computer. (Make sure to back them up to an external hard drive or the cloud!) If you want to share the artwork with friends and family, create an account on Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, or Pinterest, whose platforms are especially suited to visual libraries. \n
- \n
- Assist your child in managing the archive. Once they can handle it on their own, suggest ways for them to organize the file or account. Initially, you can set it up chronologically; then they can assign themes (#BluePeriod) or milestones (“First attempts at surrealism”). \n
- \n
- Free up space. Once you’ve made digital copies, you can dispose of the originals—most of them, anyway. Reducing your collection makes it easier to keep the best or most sentimental works, and 3D pieces like those crafted in pottery classes. \n
4. Use those digital files to create polished pieces
\nYour child’s artwork doesn’t have to stay in its original form. There are a number of companies that use digital images to create customizable items for home decor, sharing among loved ones, and accessories for everyday wear. Put that digital archive to work making tangible reminders of your child’s creativity.
\nA few ideas:
\n- \n
- Custom prints: Instead of doing a gallery wall of many smaller pieces, blow up a particularly inspired artwork that you’d be proud to display in your home. You can get it printed on canvas, wood, metal, or even slate. Try out unconventional ideas like collages and triptychs. \n
- \n
- Photo books: Digitize your child’s artwork from a certain period—a full year of art lessons, for example, or their summer at sleepaway art camp—and then design a professional-looking photo book around it. That way, your family can proudly page through photo books that take up very little space on shelves. Photo books also make good gifts, especially if they revolve around a theme, such as animals for a pet lover or coastal landscapes for a relative you visited on vacation. \n
- \n
- Custom cards: Your year will inevitably include a reason or two to send out cards, such as a birthday party, thank yous, holiday greetings, or a birth announcement for a new sibling. Instead of using the same old photos, commission your precocious young artist for a work that will add a personal touch to the cards you mail out. \n
- \n
- Custom jewelry: If you’re enamored with a particular artwork, carry it with you always in the form of jewelry. For example, a jeweler could convert a child’s art ideas into charms for a bracelet or necklace. It’s a high-end option but one that would be especially appreciated by a parent or grandparent who receives the jewelry as a gift. Check out our design tips for personalized jewelry. \n
- \n
- Unconventional gifts: Not satisfied yet? Then see how your child’s artwork looks printed on anything from T-shirts and tote bags to blankets and phone cases. \n
5. Collaborate on your projects
\nLike we mentioned earlier, adults can get their own sense of satisfaction from crafting. To use your own projects as way to cut down on the amount of clutter in your home is killing two birds with one stone. And making art inspired by your child is sure to be a bonding experience.
\nA few ideas:
\n- \n
- Collages: This would be the easiest method for involving your child in your own creative process. Together, cut out their artworks and images from old magazines, books, and photo albums. Then, both of you could decide how to arrange the images before gluing them to poster board or—if you’re really crafty—decoupaging them onto a keepsake box, a nightstand, or another repurposed item. \n
- \n
- Adult art lessons: Use your child’s designs as jumping-off points in your own art classes. Reinterpret their watercolor in an oil-painting class, transfer their designs onto fabric during a screenprinting workshop, or turn their wacky drawings into something entirely different while learning Photoshop. \n
- \n
- Three-dimensional art: Turn your child’s 2D drawing into a 3D playmate. Specialty toy makers like Child’s Own and Budsies craft sophisticated plush toys straight out of children’s imaginations. If you’re handy with a needle and thread, you could do the same at home by enlarging their drawing and using it as a pattern for a simple felt toy. \n
6. Get a commemorative tattoo (or three!)
\nAlthough this option is clearly not for everybody, getting a tattoo of your child’s art is a great way to show them you’re their No. 1 fan. Pick your favorite piece and wear it proudly for the rest of your life. As a bonus, your child will love telling their friends about it, so you’ll automatically become the “cool parent”—at least to the kids. You might become the “crazy parent” to the other moms and dads, but that has its perks. Fewer carpool requests wouldn’t be such a bad thing, after all.
\n7. Let Grandma deal with it
\nIf these suggestions sound like a lot of effort, just send the fruits of your child’s creativity off to Grandma (or whoever else might appreciate it). To make this into a learning experience, instruct your kids in the lost art of letter writing. Invest in poster tubes that’ll allow you to safely mail the art, and have your kids practice handwriting and composition before handing over some special stationery.
\nThe amount of time spent on the message will teach them that effort and carefully considered words are more heartfelt than a dashed-off email or text. With any luck, it will trigger an ongoing correspondence with an older relative that they’ll come to treasure.

First, frame the artwork, either using the same type for each or adding extra visual interest by using multiple frame styles. Then, figure out how you’d like to arrange the pieces by making scrap-paper facsimiles that you can tape to the wall to try out different placements. Ideally, they’ll be roughly at eye level and spaced a couple of inches apart. Once you find an arrangement to your liking, pencil in some guide markings and get to hammering. The hung pieces will eventually look as pretty as a picture. \n
- \n
- Keep it fresh. Swap out the artwork by season, by month, or whenever your child completes a new course of art lessons. You could re-mat and re-frame the pieces every time, but we recommend looking into print-hanging frames, which sandwich the artwork between wooden brackets. They can be fitted to pieces of many different sizes. \n

- Choose wisely. Your average accordion folder from an office-supply store will be too small or flimsy to store the unwieldy multimedia pieces that art lessons for kids are fond of inspiring. On the other hand, you don’t need to drop the big bucks for a professional artist’s portfolio. We recommend an expandable plastic case—at least larger than 8”x10” —that can be tucked away in a closet or drawer. \n

3. Create a digital archive
\nOf course, even a plastic portfolio can’t guarantee the protection of art against basement floods, mold, creepy crawlies, and destructive younger siblings. The Internet, however, is forever. Archive your child’s artwork in a digital format and teach them to be computer-literate at the same time.

- Free up space. Once you’ve made digital copies, you can dispose of the originals—most of them, anyway. Reducing your collection makes it easier to keep the best or most sentimental works, and 3D pieces like those crafted in pottery classes. \n
4. Use those digital files to create polished pieces
\nYour child’s artwork doesn’t have to stay in its original form. There are a number of companies that use digital images to create customizable items for home decor, sharing among loved ones, and accessories for everyday wear. Put that digital archive to work making tangible reminders of your child’s creativity.
\nA few ideas:
\n- \n
- Custom prints: Instead of doing a gallery wall of many smaller pieces, blow up a particularly inspired artwork that you’d be proud to display in your home. You can get it printed on canvas, wood, metal, or even slate. Try out unconventional ideas like collages and triptychs. \n
- \n
- Photo books: Digitize your child’s artwork from a certain period—a full year of art lessons, for example, or their summer at sleepaway art camp—and then design a professional-looking photo book around it. That way, your family can proudly page through photo books that take up very little space on shelves. Photo books also make good gifts, especially if they revolve around a theme, such as animals for a pet lover or coastal landscapes for a relative you visited on vacation. \n
- \n
- Custom cards: Your year will inevitably include a reason or two to send out cards, such as a birthday party, thank yous, holiday greetings, or a birth announcement for a new sibling. Instead of using the same old photos, commission your precocious young artist for a work that will add a personal touch to the cards you mail out. \n
- \n
- Custom jewelry: If you’re enamored with a particular artwork, carry it with you always in the form of jewelry. For example, a jeweler could convert a child’s art ideas into charms for a bracelet or necklace. It’s a high-end option but one that would be especially appreciated by a parent or grandparent who receives the jewelry as a gift. Check out our design tips for personalized jewelry. \n
- \n
- Unconventional gifts: Not satisfied yet? Then see how your child’s artwork looks printed on anything from T-shirts and tote bags to blankets and phone cases. \n
5. Collaborate on your projects
\nLike we mentioned earlier, adults can get their own sense of satisfaction from crafting. To use your own projects as way to cut down on the amount of clutter in your home is killing two birds with one stone. And making art inspired by your child is sure to be a bonding experience.
\nA few ideas:
\n- \n
- Collages: This would be the easiest method for involving your child in your own creative process. Together, cut out their artworks and images from old magazines, books, and photo albums. Then, both of you could decide how to arrange the images before gluing them to poster board or—if you’re really crafty—decoupaging them onto a keepsake box, a nightstand, or another repurposed item. \n
- \n
- Adult art lessons: Use your child’s designs as jumping-off points in your own art classes. Reinterpret their watercolor in an oil-painting class, transfer their designs onto fabric during a screenprinting workshop, or turn their wacky drawings into something entirely different while learning Photoshop. \n
- \n
- Three-dimensional art: Turn your child’s 2D drawing into a 3D playmate. Specialty toy makers like Child’s Own and Budsies craft sophisticated plush toys straight out of children’s imaginations. If you’re handy with a needle and thread, you could do the same at home by enlarging their drawing and using it as a pattern for a simple felt toy. \n
6. Get a commemorative tattoo (or three!)
\nAlthough this option is clearly not for everybody, getting a tattoo of your child’s art is a great way to show them you’re their No. 1 fan. Pick your favorite piece and wear it proudly for the rest of your life. As a bonus, your child will love telling their friends about it, so you’ll automatically become the “cool parent”—at least to the kids. You might become the “crazy parent” to the other moms and dads, but that has its perks. Fewer carpool requests wouldn’t be such a bad thing, after all.
\n7. Let Grandma deal with it
\nIf these suggestions sound like a lot of effort, just send the fruits of your child’s creativity off to Grandma (or whoever else might appreciate it). To make this into a learning experience, instruct your kids in the lost art of letter writing. Invest in poster tubes that’ll allow you to safely mail the art, and have your kids practice handwriting and composition before handing over some special stationery.
\nThe amount of time spent on the message will teach them that effort and carefully considered words are more heartfelt than a dashed-off email or text. With any luck, it will trigger an ongoing correspondence with an older relative that they’ll come to treasure.

Congratulations! If you’re reading this, it probably means you’re an adult - or a toddler with a very high IQ. The bad news? Being a grown-up doesn’t come with a manual, which basically means no one knows what they’re doing most of the time. If you’re feeling as lost as a 90-year-old using a smartphone, don’t worry; here are the best ways to convince everyone (and yourself) that you’re a big girl or boy now.
\n1. Keep busy
\nThe first step to being a grown-up is doing all the things your parents would. The nights of sticky floors, poorly-mixed drinks and stumbling home at 4am are (hopefully) behind you. Celebrate the new mature you with an A-Reserve ticket to an Opera Australia performance or wine tasting in your own home.
\nAdulthood is also a time for trying new hobbies, so consider something you’ve never thought of like a gold leafing workshop or candle making course. Basically, anything that won’t break a sweat or stir up your dodgy hammy. Set the tempo for your adulthood by renting a Porsche or Eleanor Mustang and imagine you’ve made it as a successful project manager, app developer or dog walker.
\n
2. Learn to spend money wisely
\nYour spending habits will have definitely changed since your time as a 15-year-old with a penchant for bandage dresses and ill-fitting footwear. Slip into a pair of Crocs or Scholl shoes to experience the comfort you always fought so hard against. If you’re the multi-tasking type, garden aerating spike shoes work their magic as you walk, even if you’re taking a stroll through someone else’s backyard at 4am to hop the fence into your own.
\nIf you still feel like an under-age fraud, sip on a selection of quality wines and wait until the feelings pass. There’s no judgement if you still haven’t developed an appreciation for fine wines; that’s why Passion Pop exists. Cheers!
\n3. Treat your home like your castle
\nIf you’re good with your savings or fortunate enough to not live in inner Sydney, you might own your own home. Just like a more expensive version of a mood board, a house can be changed to suit your own tastes and interests. Ambiance is important, so consider purchasing an aromatherapy humidifier to clean the air.
\nParting with your beloved *NSYNC posters might be hard, so at least get them professionally framed for a classier, vintage feel. If you’re still on your cleaning training wheels, hire a professional cleaner to help you out, or celebrate your independence by attacking any stain you see with an eraser sponge and hoping for the best.
\nFinding the transition into adulthood too hard? Make yourself a milkshake, bunker down in a blanket fort, and read about the ways to thrill your inner child instead. Keep checking Groupon for all-ages things to do in your city. We’re here for you, just don’t expect us to wipe your nose when it’s runny.

How proud you were when mom or dad displayed it on the fridge? Given the recent surge in arts and crafts as hobbies for grown-ups—surely you know people who’ve taken up knitting, ceramics, or adult coloring books—these are feelings we all long for.
\nAnd we also adore passing those experiences on to our own children, whether by enrolling them in art lessons for kids or by encouraging their creativity at home with boxes full of art supplies. It’s fun to see the rudimentary family portraits or fantastical creatures your kids think up, but between school, extracurricular activities, and living-room doodling sessions, your refrigerator can’t possibly keep up with the output.
\nHow do you praise these creations and preserve them as keepsakes without turning your home into an all-out kids’ art studio? Well, we’ve got a few ideas for how to spotlight their work without wallpapering your entire place with finger paintings.
\n1. Choose one spot to turn into a gallery wall
\nTo avoid a total decor takeover, relegate the kindergarten art projects you’ve accumulated to a single area of wall space. The gallery wall, already a grown-up design trend, eschews traditional standards for hanging art throughout the home in favor of using your collection to create a single focal point. It’s a design element that relies heavily on curation and placement. Have your child select their favorites, or make your own choices based on a theme or color. Then, choose a place in your home for the gallery wall—we recommend visualizing it around a piece of furniture, a staircase, or a mantel—and map it out, keeping things like size, frame style, and white space in mind.
\nPro-tips:
\n- \n
- Think about where you want to draw eyes. By definition, a gallery wall tends to be a room’s centerpiece. If you’re playing it safe, use one to display your child's work in their bedroom or playroom. If you’re going bold, try the entryway or dining room. \n
- \n
- Make it look professional. No securing the artwork with magnets or tacks like you would elsewhere—this requires some planning. First, frame the artwork, either using the same type for each or adding extra visual interest by using multiple frame styles. Then, figure out how you’d like to arrange the pieces by making scrap-paper facsimiles that you can tape to the wall to try out different placements. Ideally, they’ll be roughly at eye level and spaced a couple of inches apart. Once you find an arrangement to your liking, pencil in some guide markings and get to hammering. The hung pieces will eventually look as pretty as a picture. \n
- \n
- Keep it fresh. Swap out the artwork by season, by month, or whenever your child completes a new course of art lessons. You could re-mat and re-frame the pieces every time, but we recommend looking into print-hanging frames, which sandwich the artwork between wooden brackets. They can be fitted to pieces of many different sizes. \n
2. Help them fill a portfolio like a real artist
\nArt students transport their work to and from class in large, durable portfolios with handles and shoulder straps. Working artists, meanwhile, advertise themselves as candidates by submitting smaller portfolios that present their best work. If your child loves their art lessons or shows distinct creative tendencies at home, discuss art-related fields with them and work together to create an artist’s portfolio.
\nPro-tips:
\n- \n
- Choose wisely. Your average accordion folder from an office-supply store will be too small or flimsy to store the unwieldy multimedia pieces that art lessons for kids are fond of inspiring. On the other hand, you don’t need to drop the big bucks for a professional artist’s portfolio. We recommend an expandable plastic case—at least larger than 8”x10” —that can be tucked away in a closet or drawer. \n
- \n
- Revisit it often. Grown-up artists constantly evaluate the work they include in their professional portfolios. Encourage your child to choose which pieces best represent their interests or skills; banish the rest to a digital archive or the recycling bin. If your child is still interested in art as they age, have them take a look at their old work—perhaps their younger self’s imagination will inspire new art ideas. \n
3. Create a digital archive
\nOf course, even a plastic portfolio can’t guarantee the protection of art against basement floods, mold, creepy crawlies, and destructive younger siblings. The Internet, however, is forever. Archive your child’s artwork in a digital format and teach them to be computer-literate at the same time.
\nPro-tips:
\n- \n
- Decide on your purpose. If you’re in search of safe storage, scan the 2D pieces and save them to a folder on your computer. (Make sure to back them up to an external hard drive or the cloud!) If you want to share the artwork with friends and family, create an account on Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, or Pinterest, whose platforms are especially suited to visual libraries. \n
- \n
- Assist your child in managing the archive. Once they can handle it on their own, suggest ways for them to organize the file or account. Initially, you can set it up chronologically; then they can assign themes (#BluePeriod) or milestones (“First attempts at surrealism”). \n
- \n
- Free up space. Once you’ve made digital copies, you can dispose of the originals—most of them, anyway. Reducing your collection makes it easier to keep the best or most sentimental works, and 3D pieces like those crafted in pottery classes. \n
4. Use those digital files to create polished pieces
\nYour child’s artwork doesn’t have to stay in its original form. There are a number of companies that use digital images to create customizable items for home decor, sharing among loved ones, and accessories for everyday wear. Put that digital archive to work making tangible reminders of your child’s creativity.
\nA few ideas:
\n- \n
- Custom prints: Instead of doing a gallery wall of many smaller pieces, blow up a particularly inspired artwork that you’d be proud to display in your home. You can get it printed on canvas, wood, metal, or even slate. Try out unconventional ideas like collages and triptychs. \n
- \n
- Photo books: Digitize your child’s artwork from a certain period—a full year of art lessons, for example, or their summer at sleepaway art camp—and then design a professional-looking photo book around it. That way, your family can proudly page through photo books that take up very little space on shelves. Photo books also make good gifts, especially if they revolve around a theme, such as animals for a pet lover or coastal landscapes for a relative you visited on vacation. \n
- \n
- Custom cards: Your year will inevitably include a reason or two to send out cards, such as a birthday party, thank yous, holiday greetings, or a birth announcement for a new sibling. Instead of using the same old photos, commission your precocious young artist for a work that will add a personal touch to the cards you mail out. \n
- \n
- Custom jewelry: If you’re enamored with a particular artwork, carry it with you always in the form of jewelry. For example, a jeweler could convert a child’s art ideas into charms for a bracelet or necklace. It’s a high-end option but one that would be especially appreciated by a parent or grandparent who receives the jewelry as a gift. Check out our design tips for personalized jewelry. \n
- \n
- Unconventional gifts: Not satisfied yet? Then see how your child’s artwork looks printed on anything from T-shirts and tote bags to blankets and phone cases. \n
5. Collaborate on your projects
\nLike we mentioned earlier, adults can get their own sense of satisfaction from crafting. To use your own projects as way to cut down on the amount of clutter in your home is killing two birds with one stone. And making art inspired by your child is sure to be a bonding experience.
\nA few ideas:
\n- \n
- Collages: This would be the easiest method for involving your child in your own creative process. Together, cut out their artworks and images from old magazines, books, and photo albums. Then, both of you could decide how to arrange the images before gluing them to poster board or—if you’re really crafty—decoupaging them onto a keepsake box, a nightstand, or another repurposed item. \n
- \n
- Adult art lessons: Use your child’s designs as jumping-off points in your own art classes. Reinterpret their watercolor in an oil-painting class, transfer their designs onto fabric during a screenprinting workshop, or turn their wacky drawings into something entirely different while learning Photoshop. \n
- \n
- Three-dimensional art: Turn your child’s 2D drawing into a 3D playmate. Specialty toy makers like Child’s Own and Budsies craft sophisticated plush toys straight out of children’s imaginations. If you’re handy with a needle and thread, you could do the same at home by enlarging their drawing and using it as a pattern for a simple felt toy. \n
6. Get a commemorative tattoo (or three!)
\nAlthough this option is clearly not for everybody, getting a tattoo of your child’s art is a great way to show them you’re their No. 1 fan. Pick your favorite piece and wear it proudly for the rest of your life. As a bonus, your child will love telling their friends about it, so you’ll automatically become the “cool parent”—at least to the kids. You might become the “crazy parent” to the other moms and dads, but that has its perks. Fewer carpool requests wouldn’t be such a bad thing, after all.
\n7. Let Grandma deal with it
\nIf these suggestions sound like a lot of effort, just send the fruits of your child’s creativity off to Grandma (or whoever else might appreciate it). To make this into a learning experience, instruct your kids in the lost art of letter writing. Invest in poster tubes that’ll allow you to safely mail the art, and have your kids practice handwriting and composition before handing over some special stationery.
\nThe amount of time spent on the message will teach them that effort and carefully considered words are more heartfelt than a dashed-off email or text. With any luck, it will trigger an ongoing correspondence with an older relative that they’ll come to treasure.

\nAt America's best botanical gardens and conservatories, you can travel from jungle to desert to lagoon in just a few steps. To build such rich, biologically diverse collections, these organizations scour the world for their specimens—which include some of the strangest in the plant world. Below, we've compiled a list of some of the best botanical gardens in the US, and one unusual, rare, or especially unique plant to see at each of them.
\nChicago Botanic Garden | Glencoe, Illinois
\nWhat to See: Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys)
\nWhat Makes It Special: In the wild, jade vines grow upside down, an adaptation that attracts its primary pollinator: bats!
\nBest Chance to See It Bloom: The Chicago Botanic Garden's single specimen, which arches above a walkway in the facility's center greenhouse, typically blooms in mid April.
\nFairchild Tropical Botanic Garden | Coral Gables, Florida
\nWhat to See: Vanilla Orchid (Vanilla planifolia
\nWhat Makes It Special: The botanical diva takes around eight years to mature, then blooms once every spring for only 24 hours. It must then be hand-pollinated within the first 12 hours so it can grow the following year.
\nBest Chance to See It Bloom: During the garden's International Orchid Festival in early March. Otherwise, some of the onsite species of vanilla orchid may start to bloom between April and July.
\nSan Francisco Botanical Garden| San Francisco, California
\nWhat to See: Giant Agave (Agave salmiana)
\nWhat Makes It Special: A massive succulent, the giant agave can grow up to 6 feet tall and only blooms once every 35 years. You may already know this Southwestern native from its liquid form: tequila!
\nBest Chance to See It Bloom: San Francisco Botanical Garden has been fortunate enough to average one flowering giant agave per year, which you can see throughout the summer months.
\nUnited States Botanic Garden | Washington, DC
\nWhat to See: Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum)
\nWhat Makes It Special: The corpse flower gets its name from the stench it gives off when it blooms, which has been compared to rotting fish, Limburger cheese, garlic, and feet. Fun! If that doesn't sound particularly appealing, take heart: it can take up to 10 years for a corpse flower to bloom, so you can probably time your visit to avoid this unique, magical, and totally disgusting experience.
\nBest Chance to See It Bloom: United States Botanic Garden's last corpse flower bloomed in 2016, and the garden tends to display the plants every few years (they have total of 15 specimens). Check USBG's website for a blooming announcement.
